Description: Inline hockey is a very similar to ice hockey, from which it is derived. The game is played by two teams, consisting of four skaters and one goalie, on a dry rink divided into two halves by a centre line, with one net at each end of the rink. Beyond the obvious differences between ice and inline skates, there are a few other things setting inline apart from the game on ice. Inline hockey is played as a non-checking sport. Contact is allowed, but only when aiming to play the puck. Players tend to have more time on the puck, and the game is more free flowing.
