Well my first roller hockey season since playing ice has started. I definitely see how ice goalies would have a hard time switching. All the slides and movements I learned for ice hinder you on the roller surface.
I am 1 week into the season and I have played 5 games so I got the ice worked out of my system (which is bad cause i still have ice games left haha) and I still love playing roller. It is such a different game for me as for ice I am more position and technique whereas for roller I am more reactive and hasek like. Also, for roller I average 3-5 games a week
because i play in all tier levels (weaker ones with friends and stronger ones so I can play more competitive).
