Roller hockey is a category which includes two rollersports. One rollersport is called Inline hockey, sometimes called Roller Hockey, derived from and very similar to ice hockey using inline skates instead of ice skates. The other rollersport, sometimes called Roller Hockey, uses quad skates and is sometimes called Quad Hockey, Hoquei em Patins, or International Style Ball hockey, but is mostly known as Rink hockey worldwide or Hardball hockey in the United States. Both are very fast rollersports. Hardball Hockey was a demonstration rollersport in the 1992 Barcelona summer Olympics.
Roller hockey in the USA has grown into a considerable sport and competitive indoor roller teams now play on sport court (blue plastic tiles) and with a plastic roller puck.
How the two sports are different yet the same
The two games have different rules and equipment, and they involve different types of skating. When you watch a game of hardball hockey, you will find it does not look like the same game as inline hockey. Inline roller hockey is similar to ice hockey, in that it includes a lot of fast "racing back and forth" action. The increased maneuverability of quad roller skates makes Hardball Roller Hockey a game filled with fancy footwork, tight maneuvering, and is more similar to soccer or basketball. Both inline hockey and Hardball hockey are exciting games to watch and both are governed Internationally, Nationally, and Locally as Roller Hockey. More on [ Roller hockey ]
