summer training

[micke 0]

hi,

well here in my country the ice rinks are closed during summer, so i need something to practise and stuff.

is rollerskating (skating long distance, practising starts and so on) really a good method to train or improve your skills/speed ?

iam not sure, cause its not as popular as icehockey (which isnt THAT popular either).

if yes, i would buy rollers, cause i dont own any.

Roller hockey is a good way to keep the skating muscles working in the offseason. You can also help build up the skating muscles and stamina by taking a long "run" on wheels.
