Hustle & Grind

Roller Hockey London

Listen Later

This one’s special. Ryan sits down with three of his business partners — Eric, Cassandra, and Joel — to break down how they accidentally built one of the fastest‑growing roller hockey communities in Canada: Roller Hockey London.

What started as a side‑hustle passion project has turned into an 8‑year movement with hundreds of families, a thriving youth program, international opportunities, and a culture that feels more like a festival than a sports league.

In this episode, the crew gets into:

  • How a couple of friends discovered roller hockey and turned it into a legit business
  • Why roller hockey is exploding globally (and why Canada is late to the party)
  • The business model behind running a league — costs, barriers to entry, and what makes it work
  • The insane development benefits for kids (more puck touches, more creativity, more fun)
  • Stories from playing and coaching around the world — Italy, Argentina, Colombia, and beyond
  • The rise of pro roller hockey and where the sport is headed
  • What’s coming next for RHL: tournaments, academies, Ironman events, and a potential pro showcase

    • It’s part entrepreneurship, part sports nerdery, part “build cool stuff with people you like.”

    If you’ve ever thought about starting a league, a community, or a side business that actually matters — this episode is a blueprint.
