Interesting. From this side of the 49th parallel, hockey is hockey
and roller_hockey, ball_hockey or dare I say it, field_hockey each
need the qualifier to avoid confusion. Since, well, hockey is hockey.
Since you are referring to an outdoor venue, I'd lean towards,
leisure=pitch; sport=roller_hockey; and for clarity or extra marks,
add surface=*
