Played in nearly 60 countries worldwide, street hockey is a type of hockey commonly associated with local parks, wide empty streets and inline skaters.  There are effectively two types of street hockey (roller hockey). Inline Roller Hockey and Quad Roller Hockey.  

Inline Roller Hockey resembles Ice Hockey in many ways, with lots of racing back and forth at high speeds. Quad Roller Hockey allows for fancier footwork and better maneuverability .  Did you know that Roller Hockey was first played on Quads? It’s true, long before Inlines came onto the scene. Also, each type of roller hockey traditionally has its own set of rules.
