About hockey
Hockey at a rink can mean youth and adult leagues, learn-to-play classes, team practices, or drop-in ice such as stick and puck sessions and pickup games. Most of it is ice hockey; some roller rinks host roller or inline hockey. Players wear a helmet and protective gear; ask the program what it requires.
