For optimal speed you want to have max wheel contact, therefore no rocker.





As you noted, a rocker allows for quicker turning, but it comes at the expense of maximum speed because it raises the front and/or back wheel off the ground.





Addtionally, the bigger the wheel, the greater the speed (one rotation of a larger wheel goes further than the roatation of a smaller one). However, a bigger wheel also reduces maneuverability.





If you want a speed skate setup, go with a set of thin profile 76mm or larger wheels, harder durometer (82A or above) with a flat rocker.





If you want to have maximum agility for hockey, go with a72mm wheel with at least a front wheel rocker. The play surface will dictate wheel durometer and profile (thin and soft indoors, moderate and harder for asphalt).
