I've been playing now for about a year (on ice). I love it. I wish I could play every day, but its not possible. I usually skate and play about twice a week. I'm getting better all the time, but I want more!
So assuming that I can't get on the ice anymore than I am, is it a good idea to throw on some rollerblades and practice stick and puck control? I know the differences between ice and roller, and I'm not going to adopt the bad habit of roller-stopping (especially sinse I pretty much learned to skate on ice first). I just hear mixed opinions about roller training for ice and would like to get some opinions.
Will training for roller benefit my ice game? (training all aspects - speed, strength, puck/stick control, etc...)
Any suggestions, ideas, drills, exercises, and the lot are all welcome. Thanks in advance
