    Yes...

    from inline hockeyireland.org:

    Inline Hockey
    What is Inline Hockey?
    Inline hockey, sometimes referred to as roller hockey, is a sport similar to ice hockey but played with inline skates. Like ice hockey, skaters on two teams use hockey sticks to direct a disk-shaped puck into the opponent's goal; however, various details of the game, such as the playing surface and puck design, have been adjusted to allow the use of inline skates at above-freezing temperatures. (from wikipedia.org) [Back to section]

    What are the rules of Inline Hockey?
    The rules of inline hockey can be downloaded from our downloads page.

    Compared to the rules of ice hockey, the primary differences are as follows:

    -No checking. Contact is allowed, but only when aiming to play the puck.
    -Played with 4 players (instead of 5 for ice) and a goalie from each team.
    -Instead of a rubber puck, the game is played with a non-bounce plastic puck with hard nubs to reduce friction and it is lighter than an ice puck.
    -Players wear a long and less padded pant specifically made for added mobility in inline hockey and often don't wear shoulder pads (no checking).
    -No fighting.

    Yup. NUIG have a strong club going. They are in the National League this year.

    It looks like there is something setting up in GMIT Castlebar too.

    UCC used to be around. Not sure if they are still going these days. They were in the National League about 2 years ago I think.

    You are correct :) At the moment NUIG and UCC are the only fully formed clubs but by next year that list should be NUIG, UCC, UL, CIT and GMIT.(If I forgot some one I'm sorry) Hopefully next year we will be able to arrange some games :P
