What is Inline Hockey?

Inline hockey is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Players of all ability levels, children and adults of both sexes, are drawn to the game because it’s fast, it’s competitive and above all, it’s fun.

Skating, passing, shooting and puck control are some of the key skills developed by the players and because it is a non-body checking game, both players and parents enjoy the game in an environment, which promotes safety, sportsmanship and respect.

The game of inline hockey is played with four skaters on the floor and one goaltender in your net. You can have a maximum number of players of eighteen skaters and two goaltenders on you team list or roster.

Inline hockey is played with a puck, and the game is played on a sports court flooring or  wood .

The object of the game is to score more goals than your opponent. When a player shoots the puck into the net by having the puck entirely cross the goal line that team has now scored a goal.

There are 3 purpose built rinks within the UK, they are: Deeside, Rotherham (Virtual Ice) and one at the Lord Roberts Centre in Woking Surrey.These rinks are surrounded by a barrier called the boards.

The game is played for 2 x 20 halves.

The British Inline Puck Hockey Association which have two rinks (Deeside and Rotherham ) have no-offsides within their rules.
