yes
Basically the same thing, but hockey pants have the pads inside of them when the girdle is skin tight and is just the pads. Girdles normally go under the long pants that some skaters wear when they play roller hockey. Overall pretty similar and both used to protect your high thigh area's.
I would strongly recommend using hockey pants, elbow pads, and shoulder pads for hockey. Ice hockey puck weighs more than twice the weight of an inline hockey puck and it can do damage if your not protected. Falling down on ice is not so nice either. It depends what your playing; completive ice hockey get all the protection you can, rec-league hockey its not as important. Other than the things above most other equipment is good to use like gloves, shin pads, and helmet.
They use shoulder pads, elbow pads, shin guards, hockey pants, helmet, gloves and a cup.

I play hockey on my inline skates at my local park usually on one half of a tennis court which is a great substitute for ice. Can't use a puck tho, I use a tennis ball but you can buy roller hockey balls. Or in any 5 a side football/basketball cage like park play area. Anywhere smooth and flat and with a dry surface for inline/roller skating is a good outdoor substitute for hockey mate.
Goalies are required to wear a helmet, throat guard, mouthpiece, chest protector, gloves, athletic cup, and cleats, optional equipment includes shin guards and padded goalie pants.
a hockey stick a puck
No. Ice Hockey is meant to be played with wooden or aluminum blades.
Get an ice hockey stick then use it then go to the ice rink and walk over the puck and it hits it
