The game of roller inline hockey puts a premium on teamwork and individual skill. These techniques are critical for success, but the mark of an expert team is its ability to operate as a unit, whether on offense or defense, blending the talents of each individual player into an efficient and effective machine. THE RINK Inline hockey can be played either outdoors or indoors, and the rink size is basically the same as ice hockey surfaces. The playing surface can be either wood, concrete, or an approved tile floor such as the Rostin sport floor that was used at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg. There are also new products on the market to provide for a quieter, tighter, and more slip-resistant artificial playing surface.
