Can you use rollerblades for roller hockey?
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.
