The Denali Destroyer Dolls (DDD) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Wasilla, Alaska. Founded in 2010, the league consists of a single team, which competes against teams from other leagues.

The league was founded in July 2010 and played its first season in 2012/13, winning a majority of its eight bouts. It works closely with a junior roller derby league, the Valley Vixens,[1] and has been involved in a variety of local events, including a bra-related art exhibition.[2]

Denali was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in October 2012,[3] and it became a full WFTDA member in September 2013.[4] Since that time, the league never earned a ranked position within the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Rankings and is not currently a member of the WFTDA.[5]

Skater Kandi Koated was voted onto the Alaska All-Star Team Roster list in 2013.

Skater and Trainer Athena Latina was voted onto the Alaska All-Star Team Roster list in 2013, and became the first skater to be voted as the Top Coach as well as being on the All-Star Team roster.
