Key Teaching Points

Inline hockey is a game of patience and having confidence with the puck.
You can hold on to the puck a lot longer and move it around more.
Inline hockey is a game of control.
Key skill to learn -- stopping.
Big key word is control.
Ice hockey is a dump and chase game, but because there are no off-sides or icing in inline hockey, you don't have to dump.
Good quick passes and set up for one-timers. One timers are the key!
Compare offense to basketball. You want to bring the puck down, throw it around and set up for that one good shot.
There is a lot more thinking involved -- set plays and picks.
Different for goaltenders. You can't challenge the shooter because there is a lot of dishing off. You have to stay back in the net. Moving from side to side and shuffling is a lot more difficult than on the ice.
