Road hockey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Road hockey game in Washington, DC Road hockey, also known as street hockey, dek hockey, ground hockey, or ball hockey is a version of ice hockey (or roller hockey) played with or without skates. Similarly to lacrosse boxes, outdoor roller hockey rinks are becoming quite popular in public parks which allow for a place to play off the sometimes dangerous streets.

Road hockey is a version of ice hockey played (most typically) on residential streets with or without inline skates, on bare pavement. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hockey   (1144 words)

Hockey people might point to the Rangers' spectacular lack of success to demonstrate that their sport will not become dominated by big-money teams. www.post-gazette.com /SPORTS/columnists/20020704smizik4.asp   (768 words)
