Summary: Is a roller hockey stick any different than an ice hockey stick? Learn how to play roller hockey with free video lesson.
"All right. A valuable piece of equipment is your hockey stick. You need it for indoor, outdoor, any type of hockey you're playing. You're not going to get very far without it. For any roller hockey, you can use wood, aluminum, graphite, composite. It's whatever you prefer. Some of the composites are a lot more expensive. So if you're not willing to jump in that quickly, if you're just starting out, you don't want to make that big of a commitment yet to a hockey stick, I recommend just getting a wood stick and going from there. I have a wood stick right here, and I use this for outdoor, maybe a little indoor. But, as you can see, it's banged up a little bit. It gets abuse out here. And I don't use tape for my hockey stick either, when I'm playing outdoors. It's kind of a restriction piece."
