Ice goalie switching to roller. Need advice.

So I moved away from a place that was a half mile from my local ice house out of state to where the nearest sheet is 90 minutes away. I tried to fight it, but nothing that could be done. The new town does have a pretty active outdoor roller hockey group. I’m thinking about getting in with them but I have some serious questions.

I have a set of older pads and gloves I was going to use for roller. Just get the pad slider plastic pieces and I should be good, right?

I’m guessing all the other gear will work. Then a set of goalie roller skates and that’s it.

Really in the dark here. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m guessing all the other gear will work. I have an old cheaper mask I was going to use so I don’t mess up my main one. Then a set of goalie roller skates and that’s it?
