[3] In 2006, with two home teams, the Thrill Killers and the Red Hot Riots, the league started holding games at Roller Time.

In 2020, the league rebranded as Rocket City Roller Derby, in part to acknowledge Huntsville's contributions to the Space Program.

In addition, the league and individual skaters participate in events to raise money and awareness for local charities.

In the past, money has been raised for Habitat for Humanity, Harris Home for Children, Breaking Free Rescue Mission, American Heart Association, Hope Place, Life Cycles, The Boys and Girls Club, Thrive Alabama, A New Leash on Life, The American Red Cross, United Way, and Huntsville Friends of Rabbits.
