Re InLine I'm looking at it this way. Cost - it is a lot less expensive to play inline vs ice. It just HAS to be. From a rink owner's prospective, it HAS to be cheaper to run in-line rather than ice. We're seeing more and more rinks here going to in-line over the summer, rather than run the compressors (ie big $$$) during the warm months. BTW ice in the DC area is around 225 - 250 / hr. Same rink for inline rents for about 80-90 / hr. If we cannot get the cost of ice hockey controlled, inline could be poised to become dominant.
