I would guess that you'd spend more time on your feet in skates at Stanley Park than playing a hockey game.

In the $150 range I highly doubt any manufacturer will give you indoor wheels with the skates. They'll most likely come with some 76A wheels and nothing lower in durometer. If you can find some $150 skates with soft indoor wheels let us all know...

I went to sports chek yesterday and I'm pretty interested in these two:

*Different skates, same image though*

I've never wore hockey inline's before but they felt a little dangerous for my ankles. I'm hesitating on rollerblades or inlines now.

I'm not a big roller guy but if you look closely the skates are different. They may look similar but right off the bat you can see a difference in the lining, boot and chassis.

Inlines are definitely more comfortable than hockey skates but I can't skate in inlines to save my life. There's absolutely no support in the ankles and hockey skates give me the stiffness I need and like.
