If you're less than agile on skates or if you just don't like the cold, this guide will have you slapping that puck without the risk of slipping on the ice.

Step 1: Find a playing field
Find a good place to play, such as a tennis court, a street cul-de-sac, a parking lot, or a flat rooftop.

Tip
Move indoors to a gymnasium or a large basement when the weather's too cold or when it rains.

Step 2: Get equipment
Find some hockey sticks, a ball or street puck, and a simple net.

Tip
Be creative if you lack specific items –use a tennis ball or even a soda can if you don't have a puck; and use a soccer or badminton net.

Step 3: Wear protective gear
Wear face masks, mouth guards, and eye protection – especially if you have braces or wear glasses.

Step 4: Practice in street shoes
Practice in comfortable sneakers with good treads before moving on to rollerblades.

Step 5: Invite neighbors
Invite friends and neighbors to play. Keep things casual as more people join in.

Step 6: Keep score
Keep score using stones or sidewalk chalk. Count one point for each goal – but don't let the competition ruin your fun.
