History edit
Glass City was founded in 2007[2] by Jessica "Betty Floored" Crossfield and others.[3] By late 2009, the league had twenty skaters,[4] and it opened its first season in October by playing the Fox Cityz Foxz.[5] The league later inspired the founding of the Sandusky Rollergirls.[6]
Glass City was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in April 2010,[7] and became a full member of the WFTDA in March 2012.[8]
