In 1992, roller hockey was contested as a demonstration sport for men hockey players at the Barcelona Olympics, supposedly at the wish of then International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samaranch, an avid roller hockey player in his youth.
Roller hockey has never been contested at the Olympics at any other time. However, men’s competitions in roller hockey have been included in the World Games programme on five occasions, from 1981-1993, and a last appearance (so far) in its 2001 edition.
Roller hockey is currently governed by World Skate (WS), the IOC-recognized organizational body for roller sports. World Skate resulted from the merger of the Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports (FIRS) and the International Skateboarding Federation (ISF) in September 2017. Previously, the FIRS was also known as the Fédération Internationale de Patinage à Roulettes (FIPR) from its foundation until the 1960s, and then as the Fédération Internationale de Roller Skating (FIRS) until 2000. As of January 2026, World Skate has 135 affiliated national federations.
