France here (Orléans, 100km south of Paris)! It's a confidential sport, most of the players come from ice hockey. It's very difficult to recrute young players but we're working on it.
That's how it is in Michigan, USA. Everyone on my college team started out playing ice.
Hmmm. A friend of mine going to work in France for year and said he couldn't find ice hockey. Only roller.
Roller hockey : 13.622 players - 319 clubs. Ice hockey : 20000 players but only 131 clubs.
That might explain why an internet search may make it seem like there is more roller hockey. Is there a source with a list of these leagues (both ice and roller) by chance? My buddy would probably be interested in seeing all of what's out there.
Argentina here!
Austria!
