If you love ice hockey then you will love roller hockey too. This sport is becoming popular around North America and Canada. With outdoor climates making it hard to build enough ice hockey arenas roller hockey has become a fantastic second choice. Dominated by ex Professional and Junior players this sport is as exciting to watch as a real ice game.

The rules are similar with a couple of exceptions and this sport is played in an arena with a special surface for roller hockey only. Of course you do not wear ice skates when playing outdoors you wear roller blade style skates.
