there are some similarities between the two, but there are also a lot of differences.  i'd say that's like comparing football (american) to rugby.

'In its goals, form and equipment, shuffleboard shares various features with (and perhaps influences by or upon) many other games, including bowls, bocce, curling, croquet, carrom and billiards. Historically, shovelboard appears to have diverged into modern shuffleboard and sjoelbak,[1] and with the former leading to the development of both table shuffleboard and shove ha'penny.'
