Neck guards are optional (neck guards for goalies are mandatory), and shoulder pads are optional (no body checking is allowed). (see League Equipment)

Can I wear hockey pants and socks?

Yes, but they can be hot. We recommend inline girdles and inline pants because they are made with light weight and breathable material.

Where can I purchase inline gear?

You can purchase inline pants, inline girdles, wheels and bearings from the Calgary Roller Hockey League (see Store).

What can you tell me about wheels?

All wheels have two numbers on them: the size in millimeters and the hardness rating which is from 72A to 82A. The LOWER the rating number, the softer the wheel. The HIGHER the rating number, the harder the wheel (see League Equipment for more).
