British Inline Skater Hockey:
British Inline Hockey was officially recognised as a UK Sport in the 1980’s and was formerly known as Street Hockey played in Inner Cities. As the sport evolved so did the International Organisation (IISHF) and since the 1990’s Team GB have competed at International Level collecting many medals at all age groups. In the UK we are aiming to reestablish the sport as both a fun social activity and also nurture talent to be able to compete at the very top level of the sport #Street2Elite
