About the Shock Exchange
The New York Shock Exchange is a men’s roller derby league based in New York City. Inspired by the all-women roller derby revolution, it was organized in 2006 by Jonathan Rockey, the Flying Squirrel, a referee and coach for Gotham Girls Roller Derby.
In 2007, the Shock Exchange made its public debut in a doubleheader bout in Kendall Park, NJ.
The Shock Exchange is a founding member of the Men’s Roller Derby Association (Formerly the Men’s Derby Coalition), the largest men’s roller derby association in the world. In 2010, the Shock Exchange won the first Men’s Derby Coalition Championship. They repeated their success by winning the Men’s Roller Derby Association Championship at the Big Apple Beatdown Tournament in 2011.
