our story

The Sherbrooke Roller Derby League (LRDS) was born in 2014, when Mylène Purcell and Myriam Richer decided it was time for Estrie to have its own roller derby team. 

Since then, we haven't stopped.

Roller derby is an intense contact sport, rapidly emerging, where we push our limits on skates while building strong bonds. Falling is part of the game — it is those who get back up who take away the true pride.

To allow Estriennes and Estriens to discover and practice roller derby.  

Our vision

Linking the image of roller derby to social engagement, personal growth, and self-overcoming — and growing its popularity, one player at a time.


Why a fox?

As Sherbrooke is a student city, we wanted to create a sense of belonging and turned to the fox in connection with the University of Sherbrooke. The colors are also inspired by UdeS.
