Back to top  | | | Roller Hockey Success Translates to Ice Hockey Success by
posted 03/15/2013 Great article in the March 15th Hartford Courant about Jeremy Langlois, the leading scorer for the nationally top-ranked Quinnipiac University ice hockey team, who got his start playing roller hockey in Arizona.
Langlois, who was fourth on the team last season with 26 points and third in 2010-11 with 23, is among Quinnipiac's best open-ice players, which would make sense.
"A lot of roller hockey players are good at puck protection," Langlois said. "You can't hit in roller hockey, so if you can protect the puck and stick-handle — that's why a lot of guys who played roller hockey usually have good stick-handling skills. There's no offsides in roller hockey. It's more wide-open, a lot of speed and skating. There's no checking. So a lot of it is positioning and being in the right position to stop people because you can't use your body."
Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold says:
"My thought is that kids who played roller hockey are very skilled. Roller hockey is 4-on-4 and they never dump it in. Ice hockey, unfortunately, at 7, 8 years old, their coaches are telling them to dump it in, so they're not developing that skill. In roller hockey, it's all puck possession. So your skill level develops at a better rate."

The Cheshire Herald recently ran two articles about the Junior FireAnts 16U Team's "Silver Success" at the Susquehanna Summer Showdown (a.k.a. Hershey Tournament). Some of "facts" were a bit off (perhaps the fact-checker had the day off!), but it's the thought that counts!
