Two teams skated and checked each other around the rink to try and take home the win.
The skate rink's co-owner said this is the roller derby league's first major event at their rink, and they're happy to share the space.
'They're a great group to work with, they help out a lot, so it's just nice that we can give them somewhere they can call home,' said Mikhayla Dugan, co-owner of Gem City Skate.

'It's very intense, honestly. I'm still a little confused about it, but like watching them going around, it's like five points each, I guess,' said spectator Yolanda Harris.
Next up, Gem City Skate will be hosting a Latin night at the rink on June 7 from 11:30 p.m. to 3 a.m.
