Inline hockey skates required?
Inline hockey is generally played without a brake.


I doubt that there is a rule against it but the brake is taken off because it could get in the way.





Hockey players generally change their direction fast instead of actually stopping quickly.


More acceleration is used instead of very high top speeds because of the small area of the rink. Lack of hills, vehicles, etc. also lowers the need to brake hard.





The skates are made with relatively small wheels and a short frame so that you can turn faster. Crossovers with the tight corners would be harder with a brake.





Your first line makes me wonder if you are thinking of using recreational skates for hockey.


They will be acceptable for learning but you will probably want hockey skates if you plan on doing it a lot.


It is possible to take the brake off of almost all rec skates.


Most are easy enough that you could do the swap (on/off) in a few minutes before/after a game. You are likely to need a rear axle that is shorter when you take the brake off.


If they are ABT brakes (lower end Rollerblade skates), it make take a bit more work.
Reply:I require you to buy some RBK inline skates or CCM vector they go good and tehy dont have brakes there made like that for hockey you get used to brake with thos skates. Enjoy
