lol what if they had longer sticks? wouldn't it just be ball hockey on ice

[alvinawesomeserville]

The sticks they use are so small it looks like they've taken a hockey stick and cut off 3/4 of it.

[Sepemini]

Large goal cage and the goalie has no stick . . . seems like teams could be scoring 50 goals in a game.

hockey/soccer/football = bandy

[TapOut17xx]

the ball should be bigger so it'll be fair with the goalies lol
