Buy some low friction/uhmw tape. Add some to the base. This fixes the inaccuracy of the kreg system.

The track saw is decent. The Edge guide is worthless.
Consider buying a shopfox/wen tracksaw for $130-180
I play ladies Ball Hockey in Central Ontario... I came from the ice... started out playing Ringette up in Northern Ontario...
I stopped playing Ice Hockey, because I found it way to difficult to juggle the two. If I had a great night in ice, I stunk in Ball the next day and vice versa. That is just for me personally, I know many ladies that play ice in net and can play jump between the pipes in ball with little to no problems.
I agree with alot of what is being said here... with the exception of the players pants. I play at a very high level (I've been head to head with a lot of Team Canada players) some of those ladies can really fire a ball. I wear my complete gear from ice as I do for ball... including pants and body armour.
I play ball hockey both indoors and outdoors. The floor on the outdoor courts are completely different from the concrete inside... indoors is much more slick and way bigger. I wear under armour clothing and tight capris under my goalie pants to keep cool, and drink a ton of water during my summer games. I often request not to wear black jerseys and sport a nice white one on hot summer days. I also ditched my goalie mask with Chrome bars, to a Bauer NME 5 mask with the flat wires... made a huge difference in the sun, without the glare.
I find in outdoor games, I play at the top of my crease, coming out a lot... playing the angles... a lot of girls can snipe the ball way better than the could with the puck. Indoor I play back about a foot as it's a bigger surface and was getting beat with the back door pass more than usual.
Point shots can easily mess with you and change direction, especially if it's a windy day or raining (we play in all 4 seasons, in all weather).
I recently added low friction (slippery) tape to my goalie pads... I really does work... they give me that extra slide, that I desired, but not too slippery.
This is what I bought https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00KCMID6O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I tried roller fly's, but found them too loud, clunky and heavy... I believe they are better suited for Roller Hockey than ball hockey.
And if you really get into and have cash to burn Reason Y offers custom goalie pads, with built in slidders... a guy friend of mine has a pair and loves them.
www.ballhockeygear.ca (Canadian) also has slick sheets... which I see is now on sale... dammit.

Good Luck!
[Edit] clarified a sentence.
This stuff is frigging amazing. It's almost material science magic how well it works. I've never used it on a keyboard, but I bet it wouldn't dampen your sound much at all.

There is a 2 roll pack of this stuff for $28 on amazon. They are trying to sell you a small strip for $4 on eBay. $750 of profit per 2 rolls they sell. ಠ_ಠ
Depends on what hard pad you're using, some are smoother than others http://imgur.com/a/xMSy0wk. If you use uhmw tape as feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00823J6SY?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf, it should last longer than normal mouse feet (including hyperglides) and be just as fast and possibly smoother.
Also glass and metal pads stay consistent, well especially glass, while plastic and resin pads eventually wear.
I would say invest in some super grip tape since you can't really buy hoops on Amazon. This stuff is absolutely amazing and amazon is the only place I could find to buy it for a reasonable price. You can put it on the inside of any hoop that you may get in the future. It makes your hoop stick to everything so leg hooping and on body hooping is a breeze even with clothes on.
Also, with this order you get 2 rolls, and I cut mine into thirds so I have enough to put on all my hoops if I wanted to!
Edit: Sorry, I realize this is kind of unrelated. I was just thinking if you're looking to buy something for hooping from amazon specifically, this is an idea. So when you get your smaller hoop you can tape it up, it makes learning tricks much easier. I know its kind of a future investment, but I love mine so much I thought I might share the joy!
Edit 2: I found a seller on amazon that sells poly pro hoops for pretty cheap. Polypro is super light, they wont bruise you. If you like the size of the one you have, measure it and get a poly pro in the same size, or perhaps a little smaller if you're ready for the challenge!
Which specific one for gripping against skin? I see there is softer and firmer ones. Would you link me? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093CQRK8 ?
Second that, and it's available on amazon prime!
teflon tape like this https://www.amazon.com/UHMW-TAPE-19-20A-5-18-Adhesive-020-Transparent/dp/B01N5G0Z8Y/ i think there is a clear one.
You can look for molding plastic parts at home tutorials too or go 3d printing
If you feel uncomfortable, I'd recommend getting some 3M grip tape for your hoop. I usually wear a tank top and long pants, and it sticks to clothing perfectly! I have it on all of my hoops!

(This might be of no help since i've never played ice). Been playing roller for 20 years and always used specific skates for goalie. I used to have a couple pairs that had 5 smaller wheels, but now use a pair of Mission Axioms with 4 wheels (there's a space between the 3rd and 4th wheel to allow for quicker pivot). If you're playing on a sport court surface, i'd suggest trying a wheel that is softer and stickier (maybe 76 or 78) -- that should give you more grip to "push off." People have often asked if i used to play ice because i play a pretty devoted butterfly style, so i'd assumed the pushing with your toe is the same concept, but i'd guess that you might have to adjust to push off more with your entire foot (all 4 wheels) so you get more slide. If the surface you are playing on is more of a smooth concrete, another roller goalie just turned me onto this heavy duty tape to put on the inside thigh boards and inner knee landing pads. Other than protecting from major wear-and-tear on the pads, it's also made my shuffle slide more of a 'glide,' potentially emulating ice more (fuk if i know) ?
