Inline hockey is played just like ice hockey, but is a safer alternative for kids because there is no body checking or sharp blades, and the sport uses a softer plastic puck.

The public is invited to watch or join weekly pick-up games held inside the CIS Roller Dome for advanced players on Wednesday at 7pm, beginners on Thursday at 7:30pm, and women on Sunday at 7pm.

The players who show up for a pick-up game are divided into teams at the start of the match, so pack one dark jersey and one light jersey for whichever team selected. Equipment - including gloves, helmets, pads and sticks - is included in the cost of the match fee.

Try out a pick-up game. If your kid enjoys it, consider signing them up for the Cambodian Inline Hockey League (CIHL), which organizes teams for a regular season and holds international tournaments.
