Roller hockey gear
Roller hockey gear is just as vital for your protection as it is for
making goals. Just as ice hockey can be a very physical and bruising
sport, so can roller hockey. For this reason, protective gear is not
only recommended, but it is required.
Basically, players are skating on wheels at fast speeds, whacking a
puck with long sticks to send their puck flying into the appropriate
goal. Along the way, other players are hit by hockey sticks, sent flying,
knocked to the floor or pelted with an airborne puck.
The specifics of roller hockey gear include an extensive list. Some
these items include: various types of padding, helmets, gloves, hockey
sticks, skates, replacement blades, head gear, mouth guards, pants/shells,
shin guards and more. Roller hockey gear is sold at specialty stores,
both in local shops and online stores.
