If you live in more frigid areas of the country, you may believe that hockey season is nearly at an end. While ice hockey may be nearly over, except for those rare areas who have year round ice skating rinks, sporting enthusiasts of all ages have discovered the fun and excitement of inline hockey. Played with rules similar to traditional ice hockey (including some GREAT checks and injuries!), inline hockey has the advantage of year round play, regardless of the weather conditions or section of the country. In fact, the rising popularity of inline hockey has provided those of us in warmer locales the thrill and exposure to hockey that we may normally never have had first hand. While hockey purists may scoff at the idea of inline hockey, we invite you to check out the great hockey inline skates we discovered at World Wide Sports and decide for yourself.
