Why play roller hockey?
This is where kids become skilled
At Turnbull Hockey, we believe the best players don’t choose one—they take advantage of both.
Roller hockey is one of the most powerful tools for developing skill. With more puck touches, tighter spaces, and constant movement, players naturally improve their hands, creativity, and hockey IQ. It gives players the freedom to try new things and build confidence with the puck.
Ice hockey brings those skills into a structured, competitive environment. It develops skating, positioning, and game awareness while teaching players how to perform within a team system.
When combined, the results are powerful.
Roller hockey builds elite skill and creativity.
Ice hockey builds complete, game-ready players.
Together, they create a player who is not only skilled—but confident, intelligent, and effective in real game situations.
Many top players, including St. Louis natives Pat Maroon and Brandon Bollig, grew up playing both. It’s not by accident—it’s an advantage.
At Turnbull Hockey, we use both environments to help players reach their full potential.
