ReasonY is testing new goalie pads model. This model was developed for inline and street hockey. It allows goalies to slide on a concrete and ...
So me and some friends are planning on starting to have pick up games of street hockey come spring time. My question is what do I need to get/tell my friends to get to start up? (types of skates/sticks/balls/ etc & estimated costs, I'm most confused on skates, its been awhile since I've bought a pair)
We would be playing roller hockey on pavement
I'm glad you ask. This same thing happened to me and boomed since april of 2009.
First off, skates. I would highly suggest getting a pair of hi-lo's. What I mean by this is that the two middle wheels are larger than the outside wheels. (for example my wheels are 72mm on the outside wheels and 80mm for the inside wheels. If you are looking to do this right, I would suggest buying a pair of Nike Bauer or Mission brand skates. If this isn't such a big concern, feel free to go with a brand like K2, Chicago, etc. They will offer a little more ankle support, but you wont be as close to simulating regular (ice) hockey.
Also, if skates aren't super important, I would focus more on the 'A' rating of your wheels. This all depends on the surface that you'll be playing on. For a surface with a lot less friction (i.e. multi-surface courts, masonite, or something similar) I would choose something around a 74 or 76A, for something closer to asphalt, I would suggest using an 'A' rating at 80+.
A good place to look into playing (if you haven't found one already) might be a tennis court (I used both 76 and 78A and they worked great).
Balls! There are 3 main types of balls to play with (hot, warm, and cold weather). This can be really important on limiting the bounce your ball has (you don't want to play with a tennis ball -or something similar- when playing street hockey). You might also want to look into a ball filled with water or gel to even further limit the amount of bounce.There is some excellent information on choosing a ball at schoolyardpuck.com (look at the links listed below).
If the surface IS smooth enough, I would highly suggest using a street hockey puck. There are many different varieties, but the ones I find work the best are something similar to the "Franklin NHL Pro Commander ".
Sticks. I agree with what the other bloke said. I would suggest using an ABS or plastic stick blade. Wood and composite sticks do wear a little faster (woodys more than composites) and the amount of wear can increase dramatically depending on the surface you play on (i.e. asphalt vs. masonite) and also the "lie" of your stick blade. For a better definition of lie, again check out the site listed below (and above). I personally grew up playing with ABS blades and I eventually converted to aluminum shafts with wood blades (now I'm playing with a graphite shaft and composite blade).
I would also highly suggest playing with AT LEAST gloves and shin guards. Gloves will cost you anywhere from 30 bucks or more and shin guards are usually about the same. You can always check out 2nd hand stores or local classifieds (like craigslist.org) to get some better deals. Of course, you don't HAVE to play with those, it is a mere suggestion. A bunch of the guys we play with just have sticks and skates. Also, you may want to consider using elbow pads or helmets depending on your -and the people you play with- skill level.
My suggestion is start out simple, get enough guys -or girls- to play, make sure everyone has a stick and skates, purchase a warm weather ball (this is what you'll probably use the most), and then you can get more fancy from there.
Shoot me an e-mail if you have any more questions or if you need more ideas on getting everything started/promoting it. Like I said this happened to me in April. I started out playing with about 6 guys (now we have about 25) in my area and now roller hockey just became a club sport at the college I'm attending.
Good Luck

Can I use street hockey goalie equipment to play ice hockey?
No you can't.
Ice hockey uses a heavier, harder object (puck) that is often struck at higher speeds. Street hockey pads are typically plastic or foam of poor quality, that is not gonna last
a long time on the ice and would also be unsafe.

A bunch of friends & I are putting together a team for a street hockey league...haven't bought equipment in years (and I'm a goalie)...and basically need to re-buy everything. None of the sporting goods stores seem to really carry a decent selection of street hockey equipment anymore (especially since hockey season is ending)....are there any good hockey equipment stores in the NY/Long Island/NJ/Connecticut area that anyone knows about?? There's lots of places to buy equipment on-line...but since I haven't bought pads in so long - I really would rather go to an actual store so I can try stuff on.
Go to Uniondale, long island they have had a sale since Feb.
my boyfriend just got really into street hockey and his birthday is coming up...i want to get him maybe goalie pads or something...where can i get really cheap stuff?
i dont mind if the equip. is used btw
1) Play It Again Sports

Ice Hockey «
Hockey is one of the best sports for burning calories. Hockey can be a very intense training program. It’s also a very fun sport for many people who play the game. You don’t need to be skilled at hockey to be able to play the sport, but it may take time to learn how to play or get skating down.Don’t let this upset you if you don’t know how to skate or don’t skate very well. If you don’t have the time to learn how to skate you can also try playing street hockey with roller blades on or with just shoes. It’s also much cheaper if you do decide on just playing street hockey. You won’t need to buy special equipment that you would need to buy when your playing on ice. You can also use cheaper equipment on the ice, but it’s much harder to play at times. Ice hockey is played on well you guessed it ice. You play with specialized skates on that allow you to control your movements on the ice. Skates can be expensive ranging in the hundreds of dollars. You will also need a stick to be able to play ice hockey. You can go with a cheap plastic stick if you don’t plan on playing on a team. You won’t also need the rest of the equipment that most hockey players wear in games. If you don’t buy all the equipment for ice hockey just remember that you should play with something soft instead of a puck. A puck to the face can cause some serious damage and may even kill you if shot hard enough.

For shinny hockey, you don't need to know your teammates or have all of the gear (at a minimum, you need skates and a hockey stick).
