This is a version of the sport that is played
on hard surfaces, like cement or asphalt,
and in sneakers. Depending on the level of
intensity, often the only piece of equipment
for players other than the goalie may be
just a stick. However, sticks used for the
game on ice are unsuited for this environment:
blades will splinter prematurely due to friction
with the pavement. Instead, the typical street
hockey stick has a wooden shaft and a plastic
blade that can be replaced after excessive
wear or breakage.
The standard puck will not slide
on the street,
so special pucks have been developed
that
will perform better in this setting.
More
often, players will use a special
hollow
street hockey ball that will
not bounce very
much.
Some merchants specialize in
gear for street
hockey or carry it in tandem
with ice hockey
equipment. |
