"As far as equipment that you would want to wear, the safety equipment that you would want to wear for roller hockey, whether you're playing indoor or outdoor, it is pretty generally the same as your ice hockey equipment. A little bit of variation, but some of the equipment you would want to use is shin guards. You definitely want to have a pair of these, especially for indoor. The game moves at the same pace as an ice hockey game. The puck hurts. Sticks hurt. So definitely wear shin guards. I recommend those. Get a nice, good pair, something solid. If a puck hits it, it's not going to hurt. It won't crack. And if they do crack, replace them. Always have good equipment, good safety equipment. You can't go wrong. Make sure all your shin guards fit properly, just so it's a nice, comfortable fit and you can skate good with them on."
