The object of the game is to score goals by passing, dribbling and shooting a small hard ball into the opposition's goal using a stick, that is similar to the 'original' two sided field hockey stick.

Roller Hockey played on Quad skates and Roller Hockey played on Inline skates have different rules and equipment, and they involve different types of skating but share the name Roller Hockey.

Many people in the United States, Canada, and several other countries have never seen a game of Roller Hockey (Quad), because Inline Hockey is much more common in those countries. Roller Hockey (Inline) is a variation of roller hockey very similar to ice hockey, from which it is derived. The game is played by two teams, consisting of four skaters and one goalie, on a dry rink divided into two halves by a center line, with one net at each end of the rink. The game is played in two 20-minute periods, or similar. Inline Hockey is referred to by many names worldwide, inlcuding Ball Hockey, Inline hockey, Longstick hockey, Road hockey, Street hockey and Skater hockey depending on which region of the world it is played. Generally speaking, only competitive level inline hockey is strictly bound by governing body's rules. Recreational hockey leagues may make modifications to certain aspects of the rules to suit local requirements (size of rink, length of periods and penalties).
