first night skating on the vapor x60s tonight hope my feet dont hurt to much lol. also picked up a pair new bauer four roll pro gloves for $70 yesterday. deal was to good to pass up

[weso98]

Has anyone in here played inline btw? I play out in inline, but goalie on ice. And i got a pair of bauer gloves last week, 3 goals in 2 games

[NeCanes]

must be the gloves looked into a roller league but we got ice at a rink straight through the summer and I play in a softball league so i dont know if id have time for that too.

[dyepntmaster]

I play alot of roller over the summer.

So I have played roller hockey for a couple summers now, very un-legit like though, just a stick and skates. There is a rink by my house so I wanted to try ice hockey and I come to figure out that they have learn to play adult ice hockey classes(I'm 18) on friday nights. So I go to the rink and sign up and I come to realize that the 'learn to play' classes require you to have full gear. Is that normal? I was kind of mad at this because now the only way I can play ice hockey is if I spend $100s of dollars to get gear. How did you guys start?

[dyepntmaster]

Yeah, thats pretty standard. Idk, ive just been playing since before I could remeber.

I've got bauer vapor pro's and they're pretty good so far..only thing I don't like is the palms. They're starting to wear pretty fast..think I might get some custom warrior franchises next.

the only expensive thing really is the skates. you can get everything else for like $100 max. the lower end bauer knee/elbow pads only cost like $20 each, then maybe $25--$30 for shoulder pads. The helmet can be around $30 also. You can rent skates until you get the cash to buy some.

[NeCanes]

Two goals tonight should of had a couple more. First night out on the x60s they felt pretty good just gotta get use to the blade or get a radious put on em

[weso98]

Elitist douchebag because he said roller is gay? Which it is... People who take roller hockey seriously are usually people that can't actually skate.

[demonic_dimebag v2]

Perhaps some people don't have access to ice rinks?

And it's a little easier to organize a pickup game with friends in roller hockey than it is ice.

where did you play junior?

[esteban mendez]

nah it's a lot easier to pay for ice time and drive to the rink and have everyone else do so to get pick up. walking to the roller rink and playing for free with just a stick and skates isn't hockey, nor is it more convenient.

If you play roller, you don't tell people you play hockey. It's like the difference between men's basketball and women's basketball.
