[KATOMATE01]

that rink is HUGE

[DJCSkate99]

bandy is the best sport ever! I'm from Finland and I have played bandy for 6 years now. I reccomend it

[Perzzon11]

im goalkeeper in bandy and its a lot of fun :)

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Fun sport! Just tried it on a rink. I'd kill to play it on a the full sheet like this.

[roskakuski777]

it's a bit like football (soccer) on ice. Same size of field, corners, 2x 45 min playing time, midfield players and strikers. Could even say that it's closer to soccer than ice hockey.

[skatedude226]

suuuuooooooomiiiii

[ahtartersauce101]

I wish they had behind the net play in Bandy. Imagine all the collisions on the boards and the deflections on shots to the net XD.

[1xura]

just normal goal in finland. khyllä, ja oon itekki oulun luistin seurassa pelaamassa jääpalloa =)

[atranos]

why doesn't anyone crush that guy?

[mammarboy1]

@atranos Speed is too fast

[atranos]

@mammarboy1 he's not that fast of a skater and they have many opportunities to hit him. especially at center ice when he is surrounded and closed in on by four or five of them. is body contact not allowed?

[bandyt23]

@atranos It's not allowed

[atranos]

@bandyt23 Ah I see! Clearly. I think I should've guessed that. Thanks.

@Babuf97 

[sampba]

I think he is Samuli Niskanen from Oulun luistinseura. Amazing player in Finland. and @quincee33, this has nothing to do with hockey, 2 dif sports. Very popular in Sweden, Russia and less in Finland

[sQitt32]

its not a super bandy goal! -.-

[ahtartersauce101]

You know what wud be sweet is if they had a behind the net play so it wud be like 11 on 11 ice hockey. Just imagine dump and chases up against the boards? Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo- DOOSH! :)

[cdfchung]

People who likes football will probably likes Bandy. It's also about ball posession, while ice hockey isn't.

[Doctors2Advocate]

how long does it take them resurface that ice? oh my god.

[csuabo]

I want to play bandy.

[Janusmannen]

So do so! :-)

[bandyprojektet]

Bandy is the best sport ever! We've just started a projekt in school about bandy, we are making videos about it every weak. Have a look at our channel to see all our videos!

[94TD]

week. Inte weak.

[MrJohnnyDistortion]

@bandyprojektet Have you ever seen that ancient game that is played in Pakistan,riding horses with a goats head in a burlap bag?Where do they get these ideas I ask?

[ianj30]

@bandyprojektet week*

[eeelick]

so Bandy is basically ice hockey but played on a football/soccer sized rink. And with rules more similar to association football rather then ice hockey?

[KevinKaya]

Yeah, bandy has tactics similiar to football as well, in terms of play..

[dazzeth]

... more like football on ice. Doesn't really have anything to do with hockey.

[vancouvercanucksuck]

this sport looks like a lot of fun haha

[theswedenskate]

bra spelare

[Kafeterian]

IT's called Bandy and it's the worlds greatest sport

[quincee33]

thx.  Probably why European's a re suck good skaters and passers with that big open ice.

[quincee33]

what kind of hockey is this? it looks like fun.....where did this originate?

[tigikn]

Bandy.

In Russia bandy is known as hockey with a ball or simply Russian hockey.

[quincee33]

is there professional leagues? is it more popular than regular Canadian style hockey?

[Not868686]

@quincee33 In Russia bandy is professional and very popular in some regions, especially in Siberia. In some cities it attracts 20000-30000 spectators

[MrJohnnyDistortion]

@Not868686 Lets face it.There's probably not allot to do in Siberia in the winter at 40 below zero.Looks like a pretty cool sport though.I hope that they make it an Olympic event to bring it to peoples attention.

[Lavalampan72]

@tigikn i hope you mean swedish hockey?

[Martintin7]

@Lavalampan72 what? sweden have hockey, the difference between them is that in bandy its bigger goals, its a ball, the clubs are shorter and looks alittle bit different, and theres other rules, :).. i might have missunderstood your question. :)

[proGoalie88]

Hard to say, since the word 'hockey' has so many meanings.

it's basically hockey on ice.. but not the game people call ice hockey. Confusing.

Here in Finland it would be 'iceball'. But herearound almost all sports are named after the device people use to play the game. Pucks, balls etc.

[10McSwe]

@quincee33 sweden is the home of bandy!

[MIXMASTAPWN]

@quincee33 dude if i played this it would be a dangle fest. look out sweden im putting together a team

[jackjude]

@quincee33 Britain apparently? pretty good at inventing sports

[koppelman99]

@quincee33 it may be a long time u asked. But bandy is originaly from England were they used to play with a woodcube and long hockey stiks in the 1800

[HelloimJim]

Yepp

[bandyt23]

Was it Samuli Niskanen?
