History and Information About the Israel Association
The Roller Hockey sport was brought to Israel in 1957 by "a handful of fanatics" led by Mr. Aaron Jordan. The association was founded in 1973 by organized skaters, who later grew and developed under the name Association of skates in Israel. Today, the association contains more than 800 members from 30 registered clubs. It also provides guidance and support to union workers, and contributes to the development of skating sports such as figure skating, Rink Hockey, inline skating and roller speed skating. All registered clubs are subject to local management committees consisting of corporate professionals. Each year the organization produces and distributes guidelines to suggest courses of action according to the needs of the area and the international guidelines for the organization. As a full-fledged member of the International Roller Sports Federation and the European Confederation of Roller Skating, the Israeli union is recognized by the International Olympic Committee and maintains a full professional cooperation with the Wingate Institute as well as the Ministry of Science Council of the gambling culture and sports.
The game originated from an ancient Greek sport which involved throwing a ball with a stick, similar to hockey. The remarkable discovery was made in Athens in 1922 and suggests that the sport comes from the East. For example, an interesting sculpture from a wall Themistocles built depicts a team of six athletes, with two players in the center while the other four flank them, waiting to receive the kick start. Native American men and women practiced a similar sport for many centuries. They employed balls and sticks of various materials, such as wood, bone, and deer skin. The clubs vary in length and curvature and are often adorned with various designs. The targets consisted of two poles nailed to the ground at each end, with a separation of somewhere between 50 and 200 meters. Occasionally they would play without poles and simply try to get the ball past the gatekeepers and across a line representing the goal.
The Arabs have also had since time immemorial, a game similar to hockey, is "Kouros", which is played with a ball made of palm fibers tied with spelt and using a stick slightly curved at the end opposite the handle. And the Chileans "cineca", in which an unspecified number of players divided into two camps. Each is fitted with a curved stick at its end, used to throw a ball toward a given point, while the opposing side seeks to prevent it and make it happen contrary to the countryside.
According to a manuscript of Fitzstephen, hockey dates in England since 1175, little more or less. Certainly many objects are available to confirm this. In some windows of Canterbury and Gloucester cathedrals are painted figures representing even player: Canterbury has a stick in his right hand that supports field, and from Gloucester has caught the stick with both hands in attitude drive against the ball. These stained glass windows dating from the thirteenth century.
The English are derived from another hockey game Irish is called "hurley" and also "hurlino", a game that was practiced very hard with many players. The modern hockey made its appearance early in the second half of the nineteenth century, namely ago over a hundred years. Such as hockey was played on a field with a certain size, 150 by 84 yards, a rectangle whose side lines start at 21, 50 and 75 yards. The ball was 5 inches in diameter and weighing 7 ounces. Frames the two posts were separated from each other 21 feet, joined by a bar up to 8 feet above the ground. As can be seen, a large frame (6.40 by 2.44 meters). With such a size the first players had to mark many necessarily so.
Previously, teams were formed at random and did not represent any club or society.
In the year 1875 a company resident in London, called "The Men Hockey Association," that is, associations Men's Hockey, gave a good step to correct the old rules in plan to improve the game, reducing the field, the framework and the number of players, already set in eleven as in football. There was then a dozen clubs who practiced this sport, being the most important Blackheath, Molesey, Wimbledom, Earling, Surbiton, Teddington, Eliot Place School, Blackhead, and Trinity College, Cambridge.
The final step was given the January 16, 1886, in which the clubs mentioned were the Hockey Federation. It also considers this as the date of the creation of modern hockey. The 19 representatives of the eight clubs (three delegates were 3, and three others, 2) drafted the regulation, which was submitted and approved in the first special meeting of the Committee, on February 3 the same year in the Cannon Street Hotel, London. That regulation containing 19 articles, the original was 20 but was omitted on 19 on the duration of that game was 80 minutes.
History of skating
The story tells us about other inventors of wheels but in 1813 when Jean Garcin, built a wooden wheel that patents after two years with remarkable success. He created a School of Skating, but the practice of apprentices caused numerous accidents that prompted the closure of the school and its activities.
Another patent of a skid on wheels was filed by M. Petitbled in France in 1819. These skates were wheeled metal, wood or ivory, mounted under a wooden base with straps to hold the foot. The runners were from a single size and as the wheels were fixed, it was impossible to move by a curved line.
In 1823, in London, Robert John Tyers patented model "Rolito". The British patent office, "Rolito" was described as a "device to be attached to the shoes, boots or other item that covers the foot in order to move out of necessity or pleasure." This model was done with 5 wheels fixed line and was an event that soon attracted public attention. It soon emerged patented many models, each a little more sophisticated than its previous model.
Years later, in 1867, the invention of Jean Garcin was picked up by some British industrial previously perfected, as presented and explained at the World Fair in Paris. This project was patented in New York by James Leonard Plinton, with the coupling of a braking mechanism consisting of a rubber stick in the front.
Shortly after that skates were popularized Plimpton, track skating became meeting places.
In England, skating wheels furor was traditional in many places. But since many tracks were poorly maintained and regulated, the first wave of popularity did not last long.
In 1876 opens in Paris on first Skating Center as a fashionable sport and mounted with all kinds of luxuries and details to the delight
of the Parisian aristocracy, who took the sport as skating fashion. From that moment proliferated track skating across Europe. Germany had 50 tracks, 30 Great Britain and the United States began its expansion. Faced with this growth had to organize the skating and, for that reason, began to be born clubs and competitions. Edward Crawford was brought new ideas for Chicago sports competitions and practice among them the roller hockey.
In the year 1905 is based on the England AMATEUR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION, forerunner of skating at all levels, but in 1901 there were already teams which competed with each other but without playing. The first news of matches taking place between clubs from different countries dating from November 1910. Arguably, therefore, that England was the real birthplace of hockey in 1909 and began play in Kent County.
The skating was already a reality in three of its modalities (speed, artistic and hockey), but had to sort and organize the sport. In April 1924 met in Montreux (Switzerland) representatives of France, Germany, Britain and Switzerland, and founded the Federation Internationale du Patinage A caravan sites (FIPR), being named president of the same Swiss Fred Renkewitz, personage of great importance in dissemination of road hockey around the world.
The year 1946 was the Spanish Hockey Federation and skating and Spain debuted in international competitions in 1947 in a tournament held in Lisbon (Portugal).
Roller Hockey
Principles of roller hockey in the world. The roller hockey was born in Chicago, but in the first place that appeared hockey is a drawing carved in an Egyptian tomb in the Nile Valley. The first to touch an item on the skid was Hans Brinker, who devised i built the first round metal skid in the year 1733. These wheels were placed in a skid with metal rim created by Joseph Lunds, but was left aside by the many imperfections and that was soon forgotten. In 1760 Joseph Merlin devised metal wheel that was the precursor of the present. In London the marketed. Also in this year presented his invention in a fashion show, but as the parquet floor as the wheels crashed. After Merlin there were other people: Luis Van Lede wheels manufactured in 1790 "skid terre" which were a failure; Jean Garcin in 1813 patented the wheels of wood under the name "Gypsy"; Pettibled also highlighted in 1819, Tyre in 1823 and Kubler in 1834, although all three failed.
In 1867 the invention of Garcin of wooden wheels was picked up by some Englishmen that the industrial perfected. James Leonard Plinton the patented in New York, but the coupling with a wad of rubber on the front that allowed halt when ibas backward and forward to boot. In 1867 opened the first center in Paris skating for the aristocracy. From that time began to have many clues, wood (being the most resistant wooden wheels), across Europe.
Edward Crawford introduced the sport in Europe in the early twentieth century with an adaptation of ice hockey to the wooden floors Europeans. It was very popular in England and in 1905 founded the Amateur Hockey Association, which originated the national association of hockey in 1913. The hockey began to spread through the rest of Europe, especially Switzerland and France, but not until 1924 was organized internationally. Fred Renkewitz created the International Roller Skating Federation (FIRS) in Montreux (Switzerland), meeting representatives Switzerland, France, Germany and Britain. Years later entered Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain in 1946, but was practised in Barcelona since 1915, and since 1928 also had its Catalonia regional federation. The first European Cup for clubs was played in 1926, and in 1936 started the World Cup. Before World War II, England was the best country, but from 1947 began to win Portugal, Spain and Italy in international competitions. In South America, Argentina was the better team.
The roller hockey is played on a track terrazzo mainly, but also may be or cement floor, surrounded by a fence to avoid leaving the ball. Each team consists of five players, who move on wheeled skates and can not intervene in the game when not in possession of the stick. All incorporate a series of protections in their clothing. The game is divided into two parts, 25 minutes each -20 teams in international competitions with a break-intermediate 5 minutes. This pattern emerged in Britain during the s. XIX.
In 1924 was first regulated in Switzerland and that same year formed the Federation of International Hockey skates.
Although no category Olympic exhibition sport was in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Spain and Portugal are the countries with more tradition in their practice.
HISTORY OF SKATING WHEELS
Ever wonder who invented the first pair of skates? Where? When? How were the runners 100 years ago? How much resembled those that today you have you? So probably enjoy this page ...
The official credit for the invention of the first pair of skates, be attributed to Joseph Merlin, a luthier who was born in Huys, Belgium on September 17, 1735.
In May 1770, Merlin went to London as director of the Museum Cox in Spring Gardens, where he exhibited several of his musical instruments. Merlin also had examples of his work at his home in Oxford Street (emotionally called "the cave of Merlin"), where he also showed his unique invention: a pair of skates on wheels.
But his place in history as an inventor, also is accompanied by an amusing anecdote about the presentation of his invention in society: A letter from the period read: "... designed to rotate on small metal wheels. Provided a couple of these skates and a violin, he joined a dance dress held in Carlisle-House, Soho Square in the heart of London . An additional ways to reduce their speed or control their direction, was to give valued against a mirror located at the end of the ballroom. Not only resulted in breakage of the same and his violin but also was severely hurt. "
After this fiasco, not again oirse on skates until 1790, when a Parisian blacksmith invented a skid on wheels called "skate-a-terre." However, it took about 25 years to win recognition that this skid. In Berlin in 1818, skates on wheels were used for the first time in the premiere of the ballet "Der Maler oder die Wintervergnügungen" ( "The artist or winter Pleasures"). The ballet was created to skate on ice, but as it was not possible to produce ice on stage, were used wheeled skates.
The first patent of a skid on wheels was filed by M. Petitbled in France in 1819. These skates were wheeled metal, wood or ivory, mounted under a wooden base with straps to hold the foot. The runners were from a single size and as the wheels were fixed, it was impossible to move by a curved line.
In 1823, in London, Robert John Tyers patented model "Rolito". The British patent office, "Rolito" was described as a "device to be attached to the shoes, boots or other item that covers the foot in order to move out of necessity or pleasure." This model was done with 5 wheels fixed line and was an event that soon attracted public attention. It soon emerged patented many models, each a little more sophisticated than its previous model.
Some of the earliest models skate
So the runners began to spread but took a long time until it was a real success. In Germany was where it was really popular. In 1840, in a tavern near the city of Berlin, thirsty customers were served by girls on skates. This development attracted the attention of many, not to mention improving service.
In 1857 two tracks were open for skating in Convent Garden and Strand, two very important areas in central London.
But not until 1863, in the United States, James Leonard Plimpton thought of putting wheels under rubber suspensions and possible maneuver curves describing the skid. These skates were two pairs of parallel wheels back and forth as we know today and were by far much higher than all invented so far.
Shortly after that skates were popularized Plimpton, track skating became meeting places. In England, skating wheels furor was traditional in many places. But since many tracks were poorly maintained and regulated, the first wave of popularity did not last long.
Plimpton also founded the first association of wheels skid on U.S. society and organized the first international skating wheels. It also gave rise to the top of skill competencies (the Medal Plimpton) and developed a system of 'categories' skid.
Samuel Winslow, became involved with skating wheels when he was hired by James Leonard Plimpton to manufacture skates that he had invented. In the 1870s, Winslow began manufacturing its own models of skates and was sued for patent infringement by Plimpton. Both agreed to continue with the manufacture of skates. During the 1880s, over 1 million pairs of skates were in use in over 3000 U.S. tracks. On the photo at left is the model "A Vineyard" in line "Vineyard", produced during the years 1880-81 by the company of Samuel Winslow. His skates were the most popular at that time in the United States.
Improvements mechanical skates helped the renaissance of skating. The skates were added rulemanes needle (very thin rollers instead of bolillas as we know now) which allowed better than earlier models rolling. So, fashion won new followers who no longer had to make so much effort to skate.
Runs new and larger were opened in big cities. In Chicago, for example, a track under the name Casino Rink was opened in 1884 and was the scene for polo matches (on rollerblades), racing and dancing on skates. However, with the invention of cycling in 1890, his popularity into oblivion to put skates on wheels during the next decade.
In 1902, the coliseum in Chicago (United States), was opened to the public a new skating rink. At the opening night there were 7000 people. Now, with his skates and had rulemanes of bolilla. In 1908, Madison Square Garden was converted into ice rink and for the next 2 years, hundreds of tracks were opened in the United States and England. The skating remained popular until the First World War, after which, cinema, dance and the car caught the attraction of the public and again, the skid on wheels declined in response, but never completely went into oblivion.
Thus, skates on wheels went through ups and downs throughout their history, from the efforts of Joseph Merlin until the use of rulemanes of bolillas during the early years of 1900. In the 60's, technology (with the advent of plastics) helped to grow this activity reaching the age of majority.
Perhaps in the future, skates on wheels come to resemble something one of the projects that the first inventors had imagined.

Israel Cup
Israel Cup is the second main competition of Roller Hockey in Israel, and is disputed by all the Roller Hockey clubs in Israel.
Bandy is a winter sport and ball sport played by two teams wearing ice skates on a large ice surface while using sticks to direct a ball into the opposing team's goal.
Hockey is a term used to denote a family of various types of both summer and winter team sports which originated on either an outdoor field, sheet of ice, or dry floor such as in a gymnasium. While these sports vary in specific rules, numbers of players, apparel and, notably, playing surface, they share broad characteristics of two opposing teams using a stick to propel a ball or disk into a goal.
Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice skates, usually on an ice skating rink with lines and markings specific to the sport. It belongs to a family of sports called hockey. In ice hockey, two opposing teams use ice hockey sticks to control, advance and shoot a closed, vulcanized, rubber disc called a "puck" into the other team's goal. Each goal is worth one point. The team which scores the most goals is declared the winner. In a formal game, each team has six skaters on the ice at a time, barring any penalties, one of whom is the goaltender. Ice hockey is a full contact sport, and is considered to be one of the more physically demanding sports.
Roller hockey is a form of hockey played on a dry surface using wheeled skates. It can be played with traditional roller skates or with inline skates and use either a ball or puck. Combined, roller hockey is played in nearly 60 countries worldwide.
Speed skating is a competitive form of ice skating in which the competitors race each other in travelling a certain distance on skates. Types of speed skating are long track speed skating, short track speed skating, and marathon speed skating. In the Olympic Games, long-track speed skating is usually referred to as just "speed skating", while short-track speed skating is known as "short track". The International Skating Union (ISU), the governing body of competitive ice sports, refers to long track as "speed skating" and short track as "short track skating".
A hockey puck is either an open or closed disk used in a variety of sports and games. There are designs made for use on an ice surface, such as in ice hockey, and others for the different variants of floor hockey which includes the wheeled skate variant of inline hockey. They are all designed to serve the same function a ball does in ball games.
Roller skating is the act of traveling on surfaces with roller skates. It is a recreational activity, a sport, and a form of transportation. Roller rinks and skate parks are built for roller skating, though it also takes place on streets, sidewalks, and bike paths.
Inline skating is a multi-disciplinary sport and can refer to a number of activities practiced using inline skates. Inline skates typically have two to five polyurethane wheels depending on the style of practice, arranged in a single line by a metal or plastic frame on the underside of a boot. The in-line design allows for greater speed and maneuverability than traditional roller skates. Following this basic design principle, inline skates can be modified to varying degrees to accommodate niche disciplines.
The Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports was the world governing body for roller sports, including skateboarding, rink hockey, inline hockey, inline speed skating, inline alpine, downhill, roller derby, roller freestyle, inline freestyle, aggressive inline skating, inline figure skating and artistic roller skating. It was established in April 1924 in Montreux, Switzerland by two Swiss sportsmen, Fred Renkewitz and Otto Myer, who had close connections to the International Olympic Committee.
Broomball is a both a recreational and organized competitive winter team sport played on ice or snow and is played either indoors or outdoors, depending on climate and location. It is a ball sport and is most popularly played in Canada and the United States.
Street hockey is a collection of team sport variants played outdoors either on foot or with wheeled skates, using a either a ball or puck designed for play on flat, dry surfaces. The object of every game is to score more goals than the opposing team by shooting the ball or puck into the opposing team's net. All games are derivatives of either the sport of ice hockey, floor hockey, bandy and/or field hockey.
Roller skates, are shoes or bindings that fit onto shoes that are worn to enable the wearer to roll along on wheels. The first roller skate was an inline skate design, effectively an ice skate with wheels replacing the blade. Later the "quad skate" style became more popular, consisting of four wheels arranged in the same configuration as a typical car.
Roller inline hockey, or inline hockey is a variant of hockey played on a hard, smooth surface, with players using inline skates to move and ice hockey sticks to shoot a hard, plastic puck into their opponent's goal to score points. The sport is a very fast-paced and free-flowing game and is considered a contact sport, but body checking is prohibited. There are five players including the goalkeeper from each team on the rink at a time, while teams normally consist of 16 players. There are professional leagues, one of which is the National Roller Hockey League (NRHL). While it is not a contact sport, there are exceptions, i.e. the NRHL involves fighting.
Roller sports are sports that use human powered vehicles which use rolling either by gravity or various pushing techniques. Typically ball bearings and polyurethane wheels are used for momentum and traction respectively, and attached to devices or vehicles that the roller puts his weight on. The international governing body is World Skate.
Roller hockey, rink hockey or quad hockey is a team sport played on roller skates. It is the only quad skate team sport in existence where two teams face-off against one another at the same time. Two teams try to drive a hard ball with their sticks into the opposing teams' goalnet. Each team has five players on the rink at a time, four of whom are skaters and one who is the goalkeeper. The ball can only be put in motion by a stick, not the skate, otherwise a foul will be stated. The game has two 25-minute halves, with 15-minute halftime intermission, plus up to two 5-minute golden goal periods to settle ties with the clock stopping when the ball becomes dead. If the tie persists, a penalty shootout will determine the winner. Players – including the goalie – use quad skates, whereas inline skates are used in inline hockey. The sticks are similar to those in bandy and shinty. Excessive contact between players is forbidden in rink hockey, unlike inline hockey.
A roller rink is a hard surface usually consisting of hardwood or concrete, used for roller skating or inline skating. This includes roller hockey, speed skating, roller derby, and individual recreational skating. Roller rinks can be located in an indoor or outdoor facility. Most skating center facilities range anywhere from under 14,000 square feet (1,300 m2) to more than 21,000 square feet (2,000 m2).
Rinkball is a winter team sport played on ice with ice skates and is most popular in Finland, where it is known as kaukalopallo. This ball sport originated in Sweden in the 1960s and from there landed in Finland in the 1970s.
Roller sport is popular as a recreational sport in India, specially roller skating for children, and it is gaining popularity as a competitive sport. There are clubs in cities and towns, and roller skating is taught in some schools of urban areas.
World Skate is the only governing body in the world for all sports performed on skating wheels. The organisation is the successor of the Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports (FIRS) founded on the 21 of April 1924.
