1 day tournament

Revive..Relive...Reborn

After so many years of being stagnant, In-Line hockey enthusiasts will gather for a 1 day mini-tournament. It's main purpose is to gather all Filipino In-Line hockey players and just play the game that we love, hoping that from this "get together" event, new ideas will rise and the ball will start rolling.

IN-LINE HOCKEY wiki's definition

"Inline hockey, often referred to simply as roller hockey in the United States, is a team sport played on a smooth plastic surface, such as Sport Court, intended to allow for least resistance with the puck and players' wheels. Inline hockey is most popular in areas with indoor artificial inline hockey rinks which make it a year-round sport at the amateur, scholastic, and professional levels. It is a North American professional sport, and is represented by the Professional Inline Hockey Association and Major League Roller Hockey at the highest level."

Chief differences from ice hockey

Many persons encountering inline hockey for the first time may already be familiar with ice hockey. Beyond the physical differences between ice skates and inline roller skates, the chief differences between inline and ice hockey are:

1. No checking. Contact is allowed, but only when aiming to play the puck.
2. Relaxed or no offsides in the USA (tournament rules enforce center line offsides but no neutral zone; varies from country to country).
3. No icing (tournament rules may enforce this; varies from country to country).
4. Played with 4 players (instead of 5 for ice) and a goalie from each team.
5. Instead of a rubber puck, the game is played with a non-bounce plastic puck with hard nubs to reduce friction. Lighter than an ice puck.
6. Players wear a long and less padded pant specifically made for added mobility in roller hockey and often don't wear shoulder pads (no checking).

The major differences: four players instead of five, relaxed off sides, and no checking, all contribute in giving inline hockey a different style than ice hockey while keeping the spirit. The game moves faster with more of a focus on finesse than strength and is more free flowing often resulting in higher scoring than ice hockey.
