Did you know that cross training can help your overall hockey performance? Play inline hockey and improve yourself in the following areas:
- Puck Handling Skills
- Endurance
- Puck Possession & Movement
- Vision of the Game
- Skating – Speed, Balance, Agility & Crossovers
- Shooting Accuracy
Ice hockey is all about speed and power, while inline hockey is about puck possession. With more open rink, and no offsides, players have the ability to move the puck around until they feel they have a high percentage shot. Skaters have more room to maneuver and games are typically faster-paced and higher-scoring, while still retaining many of the same skills and strategies as ice hockey. All of this adds up to a game focused more on skill and speed and less on strength and intimidation.
