Street hockey (also known as road hockey, deck hockey, ground hockey, easy hockey, cosom hockey or ball hockey) is a type of hockey played on foot, without skates, usually on an outdoor surface (very often a street, parking lot, or other asphalt surface). It usually involves no contact and fairly small amount of gear to be worn. Depends on a persons preference to use certain gear like shin pads and such. Street hockey is most popular in Canada and parts of the northern United States. For example, it can be seen at outdoor roller rinks, city parks, and playgrounds of Montreal, New York City, Toronto, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Boston, and Vancouver.

Teams were generally made up of minor league ice hockey players playing on inline skates during the summer months between ice seasons. RHI was also known for its unstable franchises and instability in the league's front office itself. ... Read more
