Roller hockey is a form of hockey played on a dry surface using wheeled skates.
The term "Roller hockey" is often used interchangeably to refer to three variant forms chiefly differentiated by the equipment used. Most professional inline hockey games take place on an indoor or outdoor sport court (a type of plastic interlinking tiles used to create a skating surface). Otherwise, any dry surface can be used to host a game, typically a roller rink, macadam, or cement. Combined, roller hockey is played in nearly 60 countries worldwide.
Roller hockey (quad) is played using traditional quad roller skates, affording greater maneuverability to the player - this results in games filled with fancy footwork, tight maneuvering, and is more similar to football or basketball. The stick is more or less the same as in bandy and shinty. The Quad hockey goalie uses a flat batting glove that provides rebound characteristics when blocking a shot on goal.
