It's pretty much the same as hockey, instead of skates they use roller blades, instead of ice they use a hardwood floor, with that being said i know nothing about the rules of the game
Porto are the only team left in the European CL, the final 4 will be play on the new Palace of Desportos in Torres Novas.
No Dude I will try to explain: it's like Ice Hockey, but played in a smaller rink (40 x 20 m), 5 players for each side. We use quads roller sates, and short sticks. Many people say that it's almost like inline hockey, but I think it's harder to play. For spectators, it's very interesting, but it's like see a baseball game or an Football (American one) game for the first time... In TV, the game can be boring, because it's very fast and you dont have a complete vision of the rink when you see it on TV. The most fabolous thing is that violence it's not alowed... although some "derbieS" can have trobles Here is a link with cool pictures of the game: http://www.ukrollerhockey.com/
roller blades it's not the same as QUAD ROLLER SKATES Roller Blades are used in inline roller hockey. With quad's (traditional ones), you can improve your skills, you can run faster... About the rules... I will try to found a link in english... but until then, here you have the rules in portuguese: http://fpp.pt/ficheiros/pdf/hoquei-patins/regras/regras_jogo_hoquei_patins.pdf
