    I know I'm a month late, but congratulations on a big win and qualifying for another World Floorball Championship:) That Viitakoski fellow on your line is a really good player and I've noticed in past WFC videos and this one that the two of you have pretty great chemistry. I'm excited to watch you both work your magic for Canada again if you end up making another "Representing Canada at the WFC" video for the Sweden tournament. Keep up the good work, Mr. Barber!

    First time I'm seeing this type of hockey being played when it's not kids in a suburban neighborhood playing in front of their house on the street.
    I honestly don't mean any offense by that, just honestly never seen this.
    As it seems so close to hockey, but I don't see much protection, is this a non contract sport?
    Is there the equivalent of the neutral zone and offsides?
    Legitimately curious, seeing some good passing and shooting, although I can't get used to seeing goalies in what appear to be snowmobile pants instead of the regular pad setup.
    Wouldn't mind seeing this get more popular. Definitely not as cost prohibitive as ice...

      Never understood the judgemental stance to floorball. It's a wicked sport that tons of NHL players like the Sedin Twins, Forsberg, Zetteberg, Terravainen, etc all grew up playing. There's nothing cringe about it and it's actually incredibly helpful for speeding up decision making and overall positioning for transitioning to hockey.

      @@PavelBarber yes indeed, floorball is a really dynamic game with much faster decision making and helps hockey players get really soft hands which many players lack, also it improves your cardio a lot. I would say it is one of the best training tools for hockey players out there and to those who think it is not physical like hockey, it actually is really physical, in the higher levels of floorball referees actually allow really phyisical play which makes for some awesome gameplay
