Travel Teams
The Montreal Roller Derby League also has two travel teams, The New Skids on the Block and Les Sexpos. These teams are made up of members from all three league teams. In September 2010, The New Skids became the first non-US team to play in the WFTDA playoffs, but were eliminated from qualifying for the 2010 finals by The Boston Massacre of Boston Derby Dames. In 2011, the New Skids took part in the first WFTDA regional tournament bout to feature two non-American teams, losing the 5th place bout at the Eastern Regionals in Baltimore, Maryland to the London Rollergirls London Brawling squad, 137 to 135. As of August 2012, The New Skids are ranked 3rd in WFTDA's East Region. Les Sexpos, as the B team, have also had an impressive record, and when they were beaten by Toronto Roller Derby's CN Power in September 2011, that marked only the first time they had been beaten by a Canadian squad.

Famous quotes containing the words travel and/or teams:
“Roads are made for horses and men of business. I do not travel in them much.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
