I want to play ice hockey but I am a pretty good roller-blader. I haven't ice skated yet but I'm going to learn. I think I can do it.

I think with some fundamentals in ice hockey, you should be fine. If you haven't at least played street hockey, you may have an uphill climb. But never say never...

Where are you trying out?? Just so you know Rollerblading, although it seems like skating is very different. First off unless you have the Hi-Lo system you are skating on your heels more. Ice hockey is more on the toes, very explosive. Have you played on sport court? If you have you should have a decent idea of stopping on ice skates, but it is still different. Roller blade for your aerobic capacity, try to roller blade on cement that is wide enough for a full stride (without your wheels coming up from the sidewalk).
Good luck to you, I wish you the best!

Hate to rain on your parade but your chances are slim to none if you haven't been on ice before, its like night and day.Then add on the stick handling. Stick to roller hockey.... but who knows, Michael Jordan was cut from his JV team in High School. Maybe you could be a goon- hacker ... are you a big lad?

first take ice skating lessons, because the most important thing about hockey is skating and conditioning, so learn to skate first, then try to make the team.

kWhat kind of weed have you been smoking.
You haven't skated on ice yet you are going to make a JV hockey team. PLEASE.
You get someone to tape your first skate and then sit down and watch it and then you tell me if you are going to make it.
