my friend thought of an interesting idea and i was just wondering if it would be worth the money to do it, or if it seems practical.
the problem with roller hockey is that the puck, even with wheels on it, doesn't slide too well. its pretty difficult to handle the puck on wood and its 10x easier to handle a puck on ice. his idea was to have little holes all throughout the floor that blow air out, like the same concept in air hockey, only for real hockey. This would be pretty cool to have, but would it cost a lot of money? (how expensive compared to constructing/maintaining an ice rink?) and would it be too much of a hassel with repairs?
my other idea is to have circuits set up under the floor and when a switch turns on, a magnetic field is created giving the floor a charge. and the puck could have the same charge. the strenght of the field would be just strong enough to make the puck slide. only problem is i think ppl have metal components on their skates. so idk, my friends idea is probably better
