Each manufacturer is different, so make sure you know the difference when selecting the right skate for you.

I play roller hockey and am starting ice this year can I buy all ice gear such as stick. chest pad. Shin guard and elbow and use for both instead of 1 set for each thanks hockeyfreak
any good stick suggestions Im playing with a mission toxic stick but blade was hollow also so I went right through any suggestions?

Yes you can use most of the same stuff, but usually you want to buy small, light equipment for roller and more protective equipment for ice. The choice is yours though. Shin pads, elbow pads, stick for sure.

Price: $29.99

The Fireman golaie series from Tour is the perfect starter package for the future goalie in your family. This will give him the protection he needs to start out between the pipes.
Lightweight EVA padding
Durable reinforced stitching

I just joined a roller hockey league for my college but I have only played ice hockey. Thus, I have all my ice hockey gear but i dont know if that can be used for roller hockey and whether or not its all the same stuff or not.

Therefore, what exactly do i need? And can i use all my ice hockey stuff, or is roller hockey gear different from ice hockey's?

Basically yes, the only gear that is different is the skates, now adays everyone uses roller blades.

do i need a jock short? anything else?

You need to wear (well, you "should" wear) a protective cup. You can wear the jock short type (just leave the velcro tabs closed), or wear a standalone cup.

The other option is the compression short/cup route; Under Armour makes a great hockey-specific one.

Not sure about the compositite stick; you can probably just use a fibreglass/wood stick (more durable).

For pants- I'd just get the roller hockey "cooperall" type. Much more functional.

I'd also consider a mouthguard. While full facial protection from a cage is great, it does not protect your teeth from a jarring hit.

I'm assuming your team has a set of jerseys. Regular ice hockey jerseys work fine (I played inline a few summers ago; we just bought solid colour blanks and got numbers).

I'm takin up roller hockey for my college's club, and I've never played before. I was hopin someone could help me with a few quick questions...

First, I bought all my mandatory stuff....helmet, gloves, shin guards and skates and such...and then I bought a girdle and hockey pants (I bought everything from Play it again sports...so most of it's used..), and here's where my question comes in...first off...when I wear the girdle...it literally looks like there's a 2x4 comin outta my "back side"...haha...and it looks just plain wierd...do all girdles have a back like this, or is it just the fact that I bought a bad one? Also, my helmet is a large, but is too big in the front of my head, even when I made it as small as possible...but medium is too small on the sides...any thoughts on how to make it tighter?

Yes, the girdle is normal, i've been playing roller hockey for 4 years now and i still am using the same one. You need to return the hockey helmet...just get a smaller size. Good luck with the team.

Who you playin for?
