Amy type of hockey is amazing! I play hockey and used to play inline and both are fun. Start as soon as possible

+frankovich213 thanks man. I'll see if in my city there's a place for inline hockey!

Just play roller hockey (the one played with quad skates), you have a top national league, the Lega Nazionale Hockey Serie A1.

I live in Mexico and I choose roller hockey. Who needs ice?! concrete is everywhere.

I play ice hockey and you can't play unless you can skate fast and backwards (my leagues rules)

Phantom_951 We love inline!

I am a icehocky player

It's so much different

motosessions Fantastic! Glad we could help. #NeverToLate

Gabriel Balaban Great point.

Hockey Tutorial I have a size 5 hockey skates am I allowed to put 80 mm on my skates.

TwigfestHD Thank you! big thanks to Jens our inline host.

The stick is the same except the blade. The blade is more of a hard ABS blade so it glides well. Use a wood ice hockey blade on a roller surface and it's gonna splinter.

It depends on what your leagues policy is. Some allow it, some don't!

ok, thank you for responding. have a nice day!

I’m not a goalie, but I play both and as far as I can tell, there is no difference in goalie gear. Some goalies buy sliders for their pads to simulate sliding on the ice.

Jacob Paige Great suggestion!

Jacob Paige look up pine rivers dragons they have awesome vids

Thank you!

Jacob Paige np, that really helped me when i started 7 months ago.

Not for roller no

SCOEN depends what league you play in tbh

Not really. It’s pretty optional like a padded shirt.

Not really but you dont look great without them and your team may require you to wear them as part of uniform.

Depends on the league you play in. Some competitive leagues allow for checking, but for the most part, in a rec league, its illegal.

***** Sorry but I can't. :)

Hockeyman5509 HAHAHA!!!

I didn’t know there is a difference. Are you referring to strictly roller hockey brands that differ in padding? I just use Bauer vapors for both.

@@brookeweller3622 all equipment specifically made for roller hockey are thinner & more conservative than ice hockey equipment. Even the gloves are less thick, girdles less thick, shin guards less thick, and roller hockey pants are worn over pads instead of hockey socks. Ice hockey sticks are different from roller hockey as well. I've hickey has wood blades while roller hockey has ABS blades.

@@t2dwarrior209 Hmm. I didn’t know that. What brands, Tour, Mission? The most common gear is just generic Bauer and CCM. The only person I’ve seen with abs on a blade is my dad. 😂 He just plays with other old guys. All of my friends, teammates, and coaches use composite sticks. Not roller or ice special, just general. Some of my friends have the Geo and Super Sonic. I’ve also never seen an ice hockey player with a wood stick, well once but it was like a two month a year so beginner team in a remote town. It ended up snapping when I legit passed the puck to it so softly. 😂

@@brookeweller3622 yeah, all those hockey companies sell both ice and roller hockey equipment. Back in the day I played in both ice and roller hockey leagues. I made the mistake of packing my roller hockey knee/shin guards with my equipment instead of the ice hockey one's. Ended up taking a slap shot to the shin and it left a major bruise. Ice hockey pads I don't even feel the impact. I had a metal hockey stick that I used the old torch to heat up & interchange ice hockey blades with roller hockey blades when needed. I played Jr hockey till turned 18yo. Then played in-house roller hockey leagues and in the OVHL(Ohio Valley Roller Hockey League). Those most likely don't exist anymore it was so long ago. While stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia I played in a roller hockey league in Savannah, GA as well. Miss those days.

@@t2dwarrior209 Wow. Awesome. I didn’t know some brands sell both. I guess I’m glad I wear ice shin guards because tonight my roller coach slashed my shins on purpose and it didn’t hurt at all. 😂 A metal stick sounds gnarly, like the one Gretzky used? I play in California. I have played Georgia at State Wars, not sure about Ohio.

You play ice or roller?

both

I_like_cats VeryMuch Look into the marsblade. Roller hockey skate that feels like ice.

Yes, they're not actually roller hockey pants, they're just a girdle. Roller hockey pants are like actual pants with full legs to cover the shin gaurds. To answer your question though, yes you can use these in both, to use the girdle in ice hockey you need a pant shell, which is basically ice hockey pants without pads (because you already have the pads in the girdle) hope this helps bud!

CAVEMANsean yeah thanks bud

CAVEMANsean

Not if you have my ice hockey coach...

If you use bulky ice hockey pants, then you will skate slower in inline hockey. I used a lightly padded hockey pant for years and it didn’t slow me down.

+nick long wow dude that's very mature of you.

Skylar Weiland it is the same technique

You can use composite sticks for inline and wooden sticks for ice if you want.

X3Cuber​ feel free to spend hundreds of dollars on composite sticks just to ruin them in 5 games. If your going to use a wood stick on ice it means you suck and are poor as fuck

+Ry Johnson that's if it has a composite blade. You can get composite shafts with an abs blade. Also you would only ruin the composite stick's blade if you are playing on a rough surface. Watch any of nasher61's videos. He uses a composite stuck, the Bauer vapor 1x. Also you can get composite sticks from about 50 bucks, like the Bauer supreme 160.

+Ry Johnson also I forgot to mention that wooden sticks have advantages over composite sticks too, like a better puck feel.

I haven't seen anyone use a wooden stick for inline in 10 years

Me too! It's one of the best feelings in the world!

I hate getting undressed. Especially after a loss.
