Roller Hockey Equipment FAQs
Is there more than one type of roller hockey?
Yes, there is inline roller hockey and quad roller hockey. They differ
in equipment, rules and rink surfaces. Inline roller hockey resembles
traditional ice hockey a little more closely than quad roller hockey.
Inline roller hockey uses inline skates, while quad roller hockey uses
roller skates with four wheels per skate.
Is it wise to purchase roller hockey equipment online?

Be sure that you only purchase from reputable online stores, use a secure
checkout and have a satisfaction guarantee. If the gear you purchase
does not fit properly, you will need to be able to easily return it
for an exchange or refund. One good idea is to try on the gear at a
local store, make note of what fits and then search for that brand,
model and style online for less money.

is still in good shape. Can I replace one without replacing the other?

Just search under replacement blades online and several reputable vendors
will ship you blades. Again, it is a good idea to know what you want
before you order, as there are several variations available.
