What are the differences between ice hockey and roller hockey inside? Im making the transition from ice to roller hockey to play in college. What is roller hockey, like I really know.
Roller hockey has usually 4 players on the floor instead of 5 as ice. In roller hockey there generally has no control. Unlike hockey, there is not really separate areas, because there is no icing or sanctions offside. The ruling is a bit different with a roll and making sharp turns - because you do not have an advantage in working with wheels. The puck does not move as fast either. Skating on inlines A LOT and you should be fine.

You can not start and stop more quickly. You can not take corners too sharply.
I'm going on a limb, but I will say the difference is ICE
