This version of roller hockey is the traditional roller hockey that uses the international rules, unlike the RHI (Roller Hockey International) league and the picture shown at the top of this page. In international roller hockey, the sticks are much shorter, a hard ball (instead of a puck) is used, and the playing surface is much smaller. The 1996 Championnats mondiaux will be in Sertaozinho, Brazil. Women's Roller hockey is not an Olympic sport yet.

Women's Roller Hockey

Yes, that's right WOMEN'S ROLLER HOCKEY! Did you ever want to try roller hockey but didn't want to put up with the smell of sweaty guys? Well, finally there is a roller hockey league that has created two divisions just for women. One division for experienced players (from ice hockey, ringette, etc.) and another division for the beginner or recreational player. Furthermore, the C.I.R.S.A. (Canadian In-Line & Roller Skating Association) will help to coordinate Women's programs in any other area of the country where demand exists. Perhaps you've even heard a few rumours about roller hockey. To clear up any confusion, there are two kinds of roller hockey. We will refer to them as the "short" stick and "long" stick games.

"Short" Stick Game

"Long" Stick Game

"Short Stick" in 1996 ...

The 1996 Championnats mondiaux is in Sertaozinho, Brazil in September. Three camps will be held to choose the team that represents Canada in Brazil. All of these will be held in the Toronto area.

Camp#1 - June 1996 Camp#2 - July 1996 Camp#3 - August 1996 August/September National Team training.

"Long Stick" in 1996...

Subject to availability of funds, the Canadian In-Line and Roller Skating Association (CIRSA) will coordinate hockey camps for women in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, London, Toronto and Montreal - May through June, 1996.

Various league play opportunities across Canada. Call 1-800-958-0000.

The Metro Toronto and Region Roller Hockey League (MTRRHL) will offer two women's divisions in 1996 - a recreational and an elite division. For information, call (416)260-0018. Playing opportunities are also available on men's teams - especially for goaltenders. Some co-ed playing opportunities are also available.

There will be a North American Roller Hockey Championship August 23 to 27, 1996 in Chicago. The MTRRHL plans to send two women's teams to this tournament.
