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.
@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?
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
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! :)
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!
@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?
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?
@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 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. :)
@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

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.

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

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.
