There is no offsides or icing. The Finals were to be taped the weekend of June 6-7, and games will be broadcast on ESPN and espn2 all summer long. Many hard-core inline hockey fans call Pro Beach Hockey a mockery or a travesty or worse, but those who watch the games in person find them to be quite entertaining. As the players come largely from RHI, fans recognize many of their names. In addition to Major League Roller Hockey and Pro Beach Hockey, Roller Hockey International still hopes to produce some sort of exhibition tour this year, and its current CEO says RHI will come back in full force for 1999.
Many questions remain.
