Roller hockey isn't the first sport that comes to mind when you're talking about something being less hard on the body, but that's precisely the reason that Daniel Corsatea got into it.

"I played a lot of sports all my life, and unfortunately got some bad knees from that," said Corsatea, owner of the Las Vegas Roller Hockey Center, 800 Karen Ave. "Roller hockey was better for me because there are fewer players, and there's no off sides, and there's no icing, so you don't have to stop as much; you can just skate and then turn, which is a lot easier on the knees."
