RECRUITMENT!!!
We are looking for new members to join us for the current season. If you are interested in joining the club or getting involved to find a little bit more about us you are more than welcome. It doesn’t matter about your hockey ability, come along to training and join in and have some fun.
WHAT IS INLINE HOCKEY?
Inline Hockey is typically played at room temperature. Several surface materials are used, including plastic tiles (sometimes known as sport-court flooring), wood, and sealed concrete; in general, surfaces try to balance the ability of wheels to grip against the ability of the puck to slide freely. None of these surfaces, however, are as smooth as ice; as a result, the puck is made of a much lighter plastic material, and rests on small plastic nubs to reduce friction with the rink surface. The game is played between two teams with five players (Four Skaters and a Goalie) on the floor. A team usually consists of three lines of two forwards, three pairs of defencemen, and two goalies, each of whom is on inline skates.
