For those of you who don't know the game of inline hockey, it is a little different from the ice hockey games you watch on television. To start off, as it says in the name of the sport, it is played on inline skates rather than ice skates. Unlike how ice hockey typically has five skaters on the ice per team, for inline hockey you only have four skaters on the rink. Inline hockey is a non contact sport, which is a benefit for people like me who are not really the biggest out there on the rink. What also makes inline hockey different from ice hockey is that there is no off sides, so you can spread the play of the game out the entire length of the rink without having to worry about offsides. So with the sport having less skaters on the rink, being a non contact sport, and having no offsides, it makes the game a lot faster paced. Along with having less skaters on the rink, teams typically do not have as many players as the typical ice hockey team does, the preferred amount of skaters is usually between eight to ten. So if you didn't know about the game of inline hockey, you now have somewhat of an idea of how the game is played.
