roller hockey
Wheeled stick sport
Roller hockey is hockey played on a hard surface with roller skates or inline skates instead of ice skates.
Players use sticks to move a puck or ball into the opponent's goal.
The sport adapts ice hockey's rules and gameplay for streets, rinks, and gymnasiums: We played roller hockey in the parking lot after school.
