Anyone here play roller hockey?
I'm thinking about joining up with a rec. team/league or something.

I love hockey in general, used to play a whole ton of street hockey, not too too bad on inline skates. (won't fall down and shit on random at least)

I know there's like VIHL, and PICH, but don't know the difference.... I live in Burnaby.

Anyone with any information and how to get started and what not?

vihl plays in vancouver/bby/north van. pich plays in richmond. pich is really crap-ass with their all-star game and keeping up with stats. sometimes you dont get results posted till a week or two later.

PICH is gong show. Try VIHL.

Hey thanks for the replies guys, its a great help.

Any other advice/information greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

PICH is alil unorganized so try out VIHL. I believe u gotta register on there website to be eligible to play. For players that dont have teams, check out there forum and theres a free agent subforum there for u to get on a team. I also believe there maybe a free agent game if u still dont have a team to play for and Team Captains will pick u if they like wat they see.

For equipment, u need Rollerblades, Shin Guards, Gloves, Helmet with Visor or Cage. U can either use (A) hockey pants and socks, or (B) a hockey girdle and roller hockey pants. Id go with Option B cause ull get less hot that way. Elbow Pads are optional but i highly recommend them falling on ur elbows is no picnic. Oh u obviously gonna need a stick

Great info, thanks-

I guess I'll keep looking for a team, or attend the draft game once it comes around.

i'd recommend you start going to stick and wheels, and try to find some buddies or acquaintances, when the season starts, to play some drop in games with.

different game i find when everyone's on roller blades, and it doesn't hurt to fall.

yo, my team might need players next year for pich even though i think pich are a bunch of lazy hoes. pm me your contact

I find that falling during rollerhockey hurts more than ice hockey cuz on ice, at least you can slide to a stop!
