Rollerguards: Convert Ice Skates into Roller Skates

RollerGard Ice Skate Guards


A Saginaw Michigan man has a new invention that he hopes will help revolutionize the game. It's called "Rollergard."

It's a new a hockey product that Paul Steinhauser dreamed up during a deep sleep in Davison.

"I don't know, it just came to me," he said. "I have a little workshop behind the house, so I just started tinkering with it."

Following five years of tinkering, Rollergard has now been on the market for two weeks.

Rollergard converts any children's sized ice hockey skate into a roller skate and saves the cost of buying both. It also allows busy parents to help their kids lace up before heading to the rink.

"I would like to be able to dress him at home and get his skates good and tight and roll on into the arena," Steinhauser said.



The design also allows coaches to run their kids through practice drills in parking lots or hallways. It's earned a ringing endorsement from former Red Wing Chris Chelios.
