Tryout information will be posted to the main page as soon as it is available. Roller Hockey gear is much the same as ice hockey gear. Players wear hockey gloves, shin guards, elbow pads, and helmets, and carry hockey sticks. A long pair of pants, made out of rip-stop nylon and mesh sections are worn. Male players should wear a protective cup.
Most players opt to wear a full cage face mask, some others wear a half plastic shield.
Facial protection is recommended, cause pucks and sticks can cause damage to the eyes, mouth, and face. Protective girdles are also worn by some players. Goalies wear identical gear as their ice hockey counterparts, except substitute inline skates for ice skates. There are currently no roller rinks in the Ames area. For those players looking for a real rink and higher quality competition, Skate 2000 in Johnston and Skate South in Des Moines offer both leagues and open hockey nights.
