Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Table of Contents Floorball, also known as unihockey, plastic bandy, floor bandy and soft bandy, was originally developed during the 1960s as a game for schoolchildren in Sweden. Several other countries have come up with similar games. Some writers trace floorball's origin to floor hockey, an American game that uses a plastic puck and sticks. (Floor hockey, in turn, probably derived from street hockey.) According to this account, floor hockey went to Europe, where the puck was replaced by a plastic ball. That's possible, but documentation seems to be lacking. In any event, it was in Sweden that floorball took root and developed as a sport for adults. Specifically, it began in Sala, Sweden, in 1979, when a group of recent secondary school graduates led by Christer Gustavsson began to play floorball as they had learned it during their school days. That meant a relatively small playing area, small goals, and no goalie. The game didn't prove satisfactory at their age, though, so they decided to move the game to a larger court, enlarge the goals, and add a goalie. That worked. The Sala Floorball Club was formally organized on Sept. 21, 1979, and the new sport caught on quickly, not just in Sala but throughout Sweden.

Extractions: Australian Floorball Association Australian Floorball Association Wednesday, 27 October 2010 08:44 The AFA would like to sincerely thank The Pedersen Collection for their generous support in sponsoring equipment for our goal keepers for the upcoming Mens World Championships to be held in Finland in December. As a currently unfunded sport, we rely heavily on our sponsors and are very grateful for their assistance. A message from The Pedersen Collection: "Sponsoring Australian goal keepers is very important to us and we want to be a part of developing the sport in Australia by providing the goal keepers with the best equipment available." Three former Finnish premier league goal keepers started to design their own brand in 2004, because they couldn’t find goalie gear that was good enough in terms of usability, armour and quality, for example. Followed by two years of designing and heavy testing the Pedersen Collection brand was found in 2006 in Finland. We believe Pedersen Collection equipment is by far the best available in the market and we put a huge effort into making our brand world famous. Not to say special equipment, like goalie gear, cannot be made overseas, but we trust Finnish quality and therefore all of our equipment is made in Finland. We believe quality and innovation are what our customers want too.

Floorball is an indoor team sport played using composite sticks with a plastic vented blade where the aim is to put a light plastic ball into the opponent's goal. Floorball is most popular in Sweden, Finland and Switzerland, and is also played in several other countries, such as Norway and the Czech Republic. It is gaining popularity in many other places as well, including some countries outside Europe, such as Canada, Singapore, Japan, Australia and the United States. Floorball is played in a court by six players per side. The objective of the game is to score goals by playing a plastic ball into the opponent's goal net, which is placed at the opposite end of the rink. The players may control and redirect the ball using a stick with a blade that is often curved at one end. Players must not use their hands, arms or head to play the ball on purpose. One may use other body parts. It is also allowed to play (especially stop) the ball once by foot, but not to score goals or pass to teammates.
