1st Roller Inline Hockey Veterans World Cup

Lord Roberts Centre, Bisley, Surrey,
28~30 May 2010

Why A Veteran World Cup?
Some French Friends, former good level players of Ice Hockey came to In Line Hockey around middle nineties. They would like to play and help develop this new sport. They were trainers or coaches or Club Managers. They decided to create an association with players over 40, retired from top level events. From 2001 till now they played each year before Final of Senior In Line Hockey French National Cup. In 2009, they proposed that CIRILH organize an international event for Veterans. With the help of Roller Skating Hockey CAEN a tournament was played in May 2009, with 3 French teams and a Great Britain team. As there was only two countries, it was not a world Cup. The Great Britain team enjoyed the tournament and proposed to organize a new veteran event in 2010. And they are ready to do it. We hope to join together 6 to 8 countries: the first World Veteran Inline Hockey Cup.

Where and When?
From 28 May 2010 to 30 May 2010 At BISLEY (Surrey) GU24 0NP U.K.

Why this event is being publicised on the BRSF website?

It will be recalled that at both the CERS Congress of September 2008 and the FIRS Congress of February 2009 all National Governing Bodies were requested to assist and support the promotion of all roller sports on the African Continent.

This then is the first roller event which has come to the attention of the British Roller Sports Federation
and we are very comfortable to give this international event appropriate publicity.

A Report on a Christmas Roller Extravaganza

A Social Skate and Dance,
an International Hockey Match &
Roller Disco

During the late afternoon of Saturday 19 December The Pier at Herne Bay was taken over by the local roller skating community for the second time in recent months for a multi discipline Roller Skating Extravaganza.

In addition to Roller Hockey, the HBU club has an active artistic skating section and there are also a number of other roller skating clubs in this part of Kent.

In spite of appalling weather - with many parts of the UK being 'snowed in' and reports of traffic mayhem and even trains being stranded inside the Channel Tunnel - the well advertised skating event commenced in the early evening with a two and a half hour social skate based as previously on the principal of the former "Afternoon Tea-Dance" which was attended by just short of 300 people, which included the Rink Hockey club AFP Giovinazzo, with some twenty supporters travelling from Italy. The local Da Vinci Dance Troupe also provided a display of Modern Dance prior to the start and in the half-time break.

It was pleasing to note that a considerable number of people who attended the Social Skate then stayed on to see the European Roller Hockey (CERS CUP)

Inline Sledge Hockey

World Launch Exceeds all Expectations

Inline Sledge Hockey, World Launch Exceeds all Expectations

It’s rare for a new sport to be created. It’s even rarer for it to immediately generate support and a fan base. But after the launch of Inline Sledge Hockey at Bisley on the weekend of the 19th December 2009 its clear that a Inline Sledge Hockey is going to be the future of inclusive sport.

Based on Ice Sledge Hockey (the Paralympic version of Ice Hockey), Inline Sledge Hockey is played on a sports hall using custom made sledges with wheels, using rules adapted from inline puck hockey. The game is as fast and as furious as Ice Sledge Hockey but with the advantage that it can be played anywhere and by anyone.

Three games were played over two days, the first two being between the Hull Stingrays and the Grimsby Redwings and the third being between a combined Stingrays/Redwings team and a number of Ice and Inline Hockey players, including current GB Inline Hockey players. This final game saw the Stingrays/Redwings team comfortably win by a 7 – 0 margin and demonstrated to any sceptics that Inline Sledge Hockey is a genuine physical, contact sport and not just a token nod to allowing the disabled and able bodied to play together.

Inline Sledge Hockey

WORLD LAUNCH

Lord Roberts Centre, Bisley, Surrey ~ Saturday 19 December 2009

The Ultimate Inclusive Team Sport
Inline Sledge Hockey Launch: 19th December 2009


In partnership with RGK, Hull Stingrays Elite League Ice Hockey team and the British Inline Puck Hockey Association, the British Sledge Hockey Association (BSHA) is proud to announce the world launch of Inline Sledge Hockey at Lord Roberts Centre, Bisley Camp, Woking, Surrey.

Sledge Hockey is a variant of ice hockey using sledges to allow participants to move about the rink at high speeds whilst controlling and hitting a puck. Players sit in adapted sledges, propelling themselves with sticks adapted to allow propulsion in a manner similar to skiing. As players are strapped to a sledge everybody has the same restrictions, regardless of whether or not the player has a disability.

The BSHA are committed to delivering a fully inclusive community and team development programme which will allow abled bodied and disabled people to learn and compete together on equal terms in a fast and furious full contact sport. The BSHA have a number of sledges (both Inline and Ice) which can be lent out free of charge to clubs, groups and schools to allow them to experience Sledge Hockey.
