There is traditional "Roller Hockey," played with quad roller skates, and "Inline Hockey," played with inline skates. Combined, roller hockey is played in nearly 60 countries worldwide - from Wikipedia. The two games have different rules and equipment. The Greater maneuverability of Quadskates, lead to games filled with fancy footwork, tight maneuvering, and is more similar to football or basketball. Inline has a closer resemblance to ice hockey and includes a lot of fast "racing back and forth" action. Goalkeepers also have different equipment.
