No way, the physics are very different. Play ice, and you'll never want to go back to the slow floor game. Pucks don't work well on floor and ball doesn't work well on ice.

To answer how difficult it is to learn how to play...it's not very difficult at all. What's difficult is learning how to play well. From your description you have a lot of experience in sports so I am sure that the coordination and basic instinct are all there when it comes to playing the game. The hardest part as many people mention, is the skating. If you are a strong minded, fearless person, learning skating will come a lot faster. As an adult it is a lot harder to learn how to skate properly and develop the proper muscle memory than it would if you were 5. However hockey has a huge advantage on other sports in that it must mostly be played at an ice rink (unless you live in a cold weather state and can play outside which won't be possible for a long time now) so everything is organized. (public skating, pick up hockey) If I wanted to start playing football or baseball as an adult, it would be 100 times more difficult to learn and practice in a game setting. 30 years old is not too old at all. There are people that start a lot later than that. Just try not to get discouraged at pick up hockey games when there are 12 year olds skating circles around you. It happens to everyone just starting out. Better "late" than never.

Other way around. Ice hockey came first, and then floor hockey was something Canadians did in the summer way, way back when.

I have 2 questions for you. Have you ever played ice hockey? Have you ever seen over 20,000 screaming fans cheering on their favourite floor hockey team?

Skating is 90% of Hockey, why do you think all the Goons are gone and the Flyers Suck?
