ROLLERHOC is based on Unihoc (similar to Floorball) but played on
wheels. It is an action activity, exciting, full of fun and easy to learn. It improves your fitness more than you can imagine and considerably enhances your skating skills. We started playing in 2010 but don't claim to be the inventor of this hockey adaptation it is likely other groups play their own version of this game on wheels.
The adult game is played indoors by mixed players of ALL ages, normally 4 a side (no less than 3, no more than 5) using short hockey sticks playing a light puck. (The stick must not be longer than 125cms from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle.) Ideally every Rollerhoc game should have a referee.
Players should have had some skating experience and know how to stop. You do not have to be a "good" skater to take part. If you cannot skate at all but would like to play Rollerhoc take skating lessons first with Don Morton at TrySkating to help you get started.
Player's skates can be either inline, quad or hockey skates but not aggressive skates. Heel-brakes must be of the non-marking type (or taped) to avoid leaving black marks on hall floors. Some 'soft' wheels can also mark floors, where this occurs 'soft' wheels have to be avoided. It is important that rollerhoc does not become synonymous with damage to property.
Play normally follows the general hockey game with the exception that no bodily contact is allowed. If your play style is "aggressive" go for roller hockey instead. Other restrictions apply which are detailed in the rules of the sport. The whole purpose of the rules is to encourage players of mixed teams with varying skating abilities to play together safely.
We are based in Glasgow and play at the Arc Sports Hall, Cale Uni, on Sunday mornings also at Maccabi Gym Hall, Giffnock, on Thursday evenings, 8.30pm to 10pm. We are always looking for new players to join in. Not sure you could handle it? Come along and watch first. If you would like more information please complete the contact form.
