Can you use rollerblades for roller hockey?

Answer 1

you can take the blade out and make it a shoe then you some wheels nail them on and walla you got roller blades or you can buy covers for your skates with wheels and that would work but the easiest way is to buy roller blade skates

--------------------------------------

Buying roller hockey skates is definitely easier. It also may be less costly. But yes, you can convert an Ice Hockey skate into a roller hockey skate by having the ice blade and holder removed from the boot and then having a roller hockey chassis mounted in its place. This procedure requires special tools that your local hockey pro shop should have. There is also a labor charge involved for the work.

Once the the roller hockey chassis has been mounted to the boot, you will need to get wheels (8), bearings (16), and spacers (8). A brand new direct from the factory chassis should come with the appropriate axles but if it doesn't, then you will need to get a set of 8 axles as well.

Also, when purchasing the frame, make sure that you know what size of wheels the chassis uses (each manufacturer is different) and that those sizes work with the boot you want to convert (especially the front wheel).

If you have a really comfortable boot that you want to keep using or a really high-end boot, then having the boot converted from ice to roller is worth the time, effort, and cost. If that isn't the case, buying a set roller hockey skates is definitely the better option.

Answer 2

You technically could, but it probably wouldn't be very practical. Figure skating boots are made differently than roller skating boots. You need a certain amount of cushioning, support, etc. to figure skate successfully.

Answer 3

yes

no
