League history
Throughout AASRD's history they have had four different home teams, the Department of Public Hurts, the Empire Skate Troopers the Skate-o-Masochists, and the Capital City Legislayers as well as two inter-league teams, an A level team made up of the league's best players and a B level team made up of all other rosterable skaters. After their inaugural season they were voted "Best New Sports Team" in the Metroland Reader's Poll.
Charitable work/activity
Skaters for the Albany All Stars are involved in charitable activities throughout the year; they have even rappelled off buildings to fund raise for the Special Olympics and streaked down Lark Street as a sponsor of the Santa Speedo Sprint to benefit The Albany Damien Center. A portion of their home bout raffles have always been donated to a large variety of local charities.
