Road hockey, also known as street hockey, dek hockey, ground hockey, or ball hockey is a version of ice hockey (or roller hockey) played with or without skates. It is possible to play with either a puck or ball, although a roller hockey puck is required when not on ice. Generally, the game is played with little to no protective equipment and therefore physical contact is not very common and is played without body checking but does permit a level of physical contact similar to that allowed in basketball. An ice hockey puck would only work on a frozen over street. If a puck is used, for safety the puck usually must not be raised in the air (lifted or reefed). However, rules and playing styles can differ from area to area depending upon the traditions a certain group has set aside. On ice the game is played in boots; on pavement it may be played in shoes or in inline skates. The goals often are marked by whatever objects are handy (for example, using two soda cans or water bottles as goal posts), although goal nets either designed for street hockey or ice hockey could also be used.
Due to the general prohibition of body checks, most of the pads and other safety equipment used for ice or roller hockey are not worn or required to be worn in street hockey games. However, most "skaters" tend to play with a minimum of hockey gloves and shin guards. Shin guard are often of the soccer type when the game is played on foot. Goalies typically wear equipment similar in appearance to their ice hockey counterparts so as to help block more of the goal area. However, such goalie equipment used in street hockey is generally lighter than that used in ice hockey due to the reduced weight and density of the ball that is typically used in street hockey as compaired to the rubber puck used in ice hockey.
The word 'CAR!' is a common one to hear on busier streets which generally means 'stop the game and move the goal nets'. This is often followed by the phrase "game on" once the car has passed.
