Roller derbies take place on a circuit track. The two teams playing send five players each onto the track - three blockers (defense), one pivot (last line of defense) and one jammer (scorer). 20 people are allowed on the roster but only 14 can play in one bout.
The concept of attaching hockey boots to roller skates is often attributed to various innovators in the sport of roller hockey, particularly in the late 20th century. This adaptation allowed players to have better support and control while skating. Specific individuals or companies may not be definitively credited, but the evolution of roller hockey equipment has seen numerous advancements over the years.

Absolutely not! Although it isn't the real NHL, there is still checking, tripping (although illegal in the game, players still do it but get called). For example. My cousin plays roller hockey and he has a HUGE gash on his upper leg and its been there for a good 3 weeks. So yes, roller hockey is a contact sport.
