A lot of people are a little butt-hurt saying that Bandy is 'lame', it's 'inferior to ice hockey' and 'why wouldn't you just play hockey?'.
Firstly, the fact that you can't hit somebody, does not make a sport 'lame'. By that logic, baseball is 'lame', basketball is 'lame' and soccer is 'lame' also.
Secondly, European NHL stars (usually from Russia) start by playing Bandy, as it helps them with endurance and stick handling.
Thirdly, this is a sport and people choose to play this over ice hockey. GET OVER IT. The world doesn't revolve around your narrow-minded way of thinking.
Well you're right about baseball and soccer . It's still a stupid sport
GO LEAFS GO 🇨🇦👍
@garbage person 🇨🇦👍
okay i mean you said don't be narrow minded but then also made it seem like hockey players focus on physicality rather than speed and skill which is very not true they're not just a bunch of goons and NHL players are some of the most skilled athletes on the planet. if you're idea of hockey is that they focus on physicality any more than speed and skill i guess i could just say that women's hockey is still
hockey and so is sled hockey. For me it's not about the lack of physicality in bandy it's the fact that it looks way too easy to score in and it doesn't look like there's a lot of dangling which is one main reason i watch the sport.
@@justthedrummer In your opinion, which was formed after just 4 whole minutes of watching a CZcams video. But I do agree with Go Leafs Go. If they don't reach the finals at least, I'd consider it a disaster.
@@justthedrummer Don't encourage trolling, they just get deleted anyway.
the Zamboni is gonna have alot of ice to clean...
Yup, those guys who clean ice rinks have got it easy compared to Bandy Zamboni dudes.
Bandy rinks probably have multiple zambonis going over them.
Correct. 2 to be more precise.
Ice resurfacing machine. Zamboni is a brand...
Sounds just like me. I bet I am too.
This video was really helpful. When Jesse Puljujärvi was drafted at the NHL draft, the commentators talked about him playing this sport could be a possible reason for why he's become so quick on his feet, but they didn't know much about the sport. This is really cool.
Thanks for the comments eldingo, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
stroke off lol. cool sport though
+patrick miller Thanks man, I appreciate the comments. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Well he forgot to mention the skates. The rails in bandy are longer. There is no backup towards the back of the foot. Which makes it harder to skate then hockey skates. It also makes the players able to skate faster at long distances.
I chuckled at that too. Hehe.
glad to know I wasn't the only one who lol'ed at stroke off
Must suck to be the goalie.
Oh yeah, definitely.
You have lot more area to cover, with less padding and no stick.
Aerial shots are a pain in the ass to stop too.
Good luck Bandy Goalie!
Meh its not that bad. Even though we have like 2-3cm Thick chest plate. Btw like your videos xD
Hey jen
Thanks bro!
Howdy jens
Being Canadian, I think it looks a little strange, but interesting none the less. Other than the no contact part.
+NaTs24 Yeah, if you're used to hockey, then Bandy seems a little strange. Having said that - you'd probably be quite good at it. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
There is a Canadian national bandy team. The canadian women team finished fourth at the bandy world championships several times.
it would be fun watching a video of NHL players trying Bandy. then Bandy players trying to play a game of hockey (North American style). just imagine tossing Lindros or Stevens into a bandy game. then telling them "sure guys , checking is permitted".
It is similar to watching floorball, compared to floorhockey.
Similar, yet different.
donovanjd3 how is "North American style hockey" fundamentally different from European hockey other than the size of the rink?
Congrats Ninh, since this video has been posted on FIB's (Federation of international Bandy's) official website
That's awesome, thanks very much for letting me know! :)
the game starts with a stroke off, then free strokes and corner strokes all around...exciting haha
Aha! I see what you did there. Nice.
This looks so cool! I’m mostly familiar with ice hockey, and this looks like a very interesting, different approach to a similar concept! The wide open space offers so much more opportunity, I think
Love all the different variations of hockey, field hockey, Hurling, Shinty and bandy. Thank you for doing this.
I thought the "stroke off" didn't happen until after the game in the locker room?
I ain't playing sports with you bro.
Billy Feral only your mum's there!
Fun fact: Ale/Surte BK (Bandy team from Swedish 3 tier) and Frölunda HC (Ice-hockey team from Swedish 1 tier) played an exhibition game in Bandy 2010, Which obviously ended in victory for Ale/Surte (18-6) but Frölunda still managed to score some goals which is quite impressing since they lack the skating and technique like bandyplayers have. Also some former and present NHL-players played in that game like John Klingberg, P.J Axelsson, Christoph Schubert and Johan Holmqvist.
Yes.
I believe i heard Peter Forsberg mentioning at some point that the reason for him handling the stick the way he did was due to starting with bandy as a kid, but as his parents move somewhere where they didnt have a team, he had to awitch to hockey.
Im from Sweden and Bandy is a national sport here. I love the game. it has speed. And yes it had physical plays too. It's really fun to watch. But 1 fun fact is that the game was created in England from the very beginning
+OscarOB - Yes, I'm aware that the modern game was codified in England, though the Russians claimed to have played a similar sport 'several hundred years ago'. But yeah, I watched Sweden in a Bandy game and it was pretty cool! Too bad here in England doesn't have anywhere that plays it. Be sure to help me out by sharing this video :)
and as usual Ninh you did an extremely good clip
+Ninh Ly You could do a clip about floorball. that would be fun to watch :)
+OscarOB Probably not floorball unless there was a massive demand for it?! And thanks! :)
+Ninh Ly haha i play floorball. thats why. but yeah its Only Big in northern Europe so I dont think to many would know about it.
I love bandy soo much! It's fast, it's easy to watch, it's a perfect mixture of soccer, ice hockey and field hockey. My favourite parts of bandy are corners - they are absolutely stunning to watch, plus that high stretches of attacking players look really cool.
In fact, the Swedes love bandy, so do the Russians, mostly in Siberia (e. g. in Krasnoyarsk or Murmansk nobody plays ice hockey, they play bandy), in Mongolia, bandy is one of the most popular sports. And these guys know why is their favourite sport exactly bandy!
My favourite national team is KAZAKHSTAN! 🇰🇿🇰🇿💜💜
Thank you so much for this great video! 👍
Thanks! It's an excellent video.
I'm a Canadian hockey fan.... At first, Bandy looks strange and ridiculous... but I'm intrigued by the large ice surface
It adds a different dimension to the game, for sure.
It's an amazing game with alot of history.. The club I'm supporting was formed in 29/01/1904
As a hockey fan that’s about the only thing that interests me
Would be fun to play hockey on it
jason! Bandy was made before hockey :/
Bandy is called "Ice Ball" in finnish.
Huh, that's cool.
Never heard or even seen this game before! Thanks for heads up!
Yeah, it's pretty cool once you start watching it.
Cheers bro, check out my channel for more like this :)
Because I guess I'm weird like that, but I would _love_ to see the NHL stage an exhibition game on a bandy field (with obvious changes like hockey-sized nets and all that). Just the scope of it all would be amazing
That’s not weird, that’s a great idea, I’ve thought how cool it would be to have a hockey game on a football sized rink and that’s what this rink is. I also think it’d be cool to add one or two more players, bring back the rover position, since there’s a lot more ice to cover
@@jimmybuckets5863 I'm all good for them experimenting with an idea like this. Especially if it involves Detroit. :P
I would like to see how well pro hockey players could play this game.
This was very informative and bandy should be promoted more in Canada as our CFL fields are the same regulation size. Winnipeg would be a good place to debut bandy.
Absolutely! There's going to be a lot of haters who'll bash it because it's not hockey (kinda like who's in the comments section), but I think it's an interesting sport and certainly worth a try in Canada. Thanks man.
Wish I was in my 20's, love to give this game a go. Looks like incredible fun
Wow, I love Hockey and I love soccer. This is great!!!
Thanks a lot Dude!!!!! I think I remember asking about you doing a Bandy Video a while back. I'll use this to help explain the game to my friends!!!!!
+Tony Whitehill Thanks Tony! I've received a lot more requests for Bandy since you last asked, so I felt that I should make one. I get requests for all sorts of other things, but this one stood out. Be sure to share this video :)
That was wonderful! Thank you!
+Patricia Curtis Thanks Patricia, I appreciate the comments on my Bandy video! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Thanks! From Canada...have seen Bandy videos on CZcams for a while, always wondered the rules. Wish we played in Canada.
Cool, thanks man.
Believe it or not, Canada does play Bandy. Usually on frozen lakes, but they share full sized indoor rinks with the US.
Be sure to check them out. And also, some of my other videos on mu channel.
I love that at 1:01 you left enough time for me to make a joke and laugh about it in my head before you moved on
As a hockey player that seems like a really fun game to play
Absolutely! If there was a place near me that did this, I'd try it.
Thanks bro!
Notice that the stands are empty in all of the videos
Yeah, such a shame! it's a great sport.
It looks fun
It's probably beacuse its international games when you watch a club play there are around 1000-3000 fans in the stadiums
It´s only one video from one game :D World cup game 2015 for 5th place at about 10am, so nobody cared...
There are more people on the ice then in the stands.
I've been interested in all kinds of sports forever. It's one of my quirks. If my wife can find a game, I will (or soon) know the rules. Thanks for the videos!
+Mason Cornelison Cheers Mason, I'm glad you approve of these sports videos. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
I just searched: diferences between ice and field hockey. And now i´m interested in Bandy.
Here's a question... where can I watch some Bandy?
Usually Russian or Scandinavian tv. Otherwise, type in 'Bandy Full Match' in CZcams and watch away!
Thank you!
I've got a few videos from Bandy World Championship 2015 in 4k, but they're short as LG G3 kept overheating despite the cold temperatures in Erofey Arena:)
Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia and China..
Bandypuls sends games in elitserien
this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this sport and now I’m a bit intrigued
Yeah, be sure to check it out. It might not be common, but it's worth a watch.
Cheers!
Wow I’m just learning about this sport now, crazy!
A frozen puck just pairs so beautifully and naturally with the ice. It’s like they were destined to be together. It glides with such speed and grace. A spherical ball just can’t quite replicate that. Still, this game looks fun to watch
I guess thats the fun part, the fact that the ball goes against the grain, which might be a bit more of a challenge to play.
I could see soccer fans enjoying this and hockey fans hating it
I think some hockey fans may enjoy it as well...says me a multi sports man liker of most sports.
Amazing game! I wish this game is a Winter Olympic discipline!
Yeah it's pretty cool. Sadly not enough nations play this competitively for it to be an Olympic discipline.
Never seen Bandi before. Now it is all I want to see :-)
That first shot where the camera zooms out and you see how big the rink is, that was so cool
Yeah, it's massive isn't it?! Thanks for stopping by! :)
Best sport in the whole wide world🙌😍 nice video
Thanks Esther, glad you like this video!
Subscribe & check out my channel for more like this :)
totally agreed!!!
Interesting looking sport. You do need to be proficient in using both sides of the blade in hockey too, just with a curved blade. Great video!
Great video, thank you very much!
Thanks Alex, much appreciated.
I love this channel I'm a huge sports fan and I never heard of a lot of these it's quite cool
+MetalLovinSportsLover Strange one isn't it?! I think it's be pretty cool to play, but there are no bandy rinks in the entire country where I'm at (the UK). Thanks for stopping by!
Bandy is a nice sport but I still prefer hockey. Greetings from Finland, thanks for these great videos! Thanks to you I know now why there are rucks and mauls in rugby union!
+sahiblindberg Thanks for watching my other videos too! I'm glad you approve. Be sure to subscribe :)
We bandy fans call icehockey "bandy in a bathtub"! 🤣
Probably because you're used to hockey as it's a way more popular game. Hockey is more physical of course but bandy requires more skill.
@@hristo5689 that’s subjective
I love it!
It's a cool sport for sure, it's a shame that it's not commonplace.
I would have loved to play this when I was playing ice hockey! Looks fun i would have loved it, cool video never heard of bandy
Yeah it's definitely different. Worth a shot!
Excellent Job Mate! Cheers!
Thanks Edward, much appreciated!
About Bandy:
(1) Size of Bandy
(2) Chances for participating in the Olympics
(3) Leading nations in bandy
(4) National Sport/Heritage sports in OWG
(5) Events in the Olympics
Starting with Bullet (1). Bandy is the second largest winter sport. The relevant reference for analyzing bandy (Called hockey with ball in Eurasia where hockey is a common term for icehockey and bandy) are of course the winter sports universe (sports on ice and snow) that all are very small sports compared to that of summer sports, except for icehockey (Called hockey with puck, or Canadien Rules in Eurasia). Winter Sports as the correct benchmark is accentuated by existence multisport events such as the Olympic Winter Games (OWG), Universiade and the old Nordic Games and Spartakiade. Research in Norway over International Federations statistics concludes that bandy is the second larger winter sport in terms of licensed athletes above 13 year of age world wide. Its not the size (as a winter sport) that have stopped bandy into the Olympic Winter Games (OWG). What is it then?
Bullet (2). The answer is a disgrace in the previous Olympic Charter that shielded sports currently on the Programme regardless of size. The IOC method to count size was to count number of national member federations in International Federation. The problem is that many of these national federations are empty shells or have very few active athletes. This was a breach of fair play, right to play and most key principles of law. Following the overdue reform process lead by Thomas Bach of IOC the New Olympic Charter has now been modernized and the sports currently in the Programme are not any longer priviliged. The Charter came in force 8 December 2014, but due to lead times of 7 years bandy, as IOC recognized sport, can compete to take part from YOG 2020 (Lausanne) and OWG 2022 (Beijing). Bandy will be part of YOG 2016 under the Culture Programme. Last time was OWG in Oslo 1952 where bandy also was a demonstration sport. The predessor and inspiration to OWG in the early 1900 was the Nordic Games where bandy took part 8 out of 9 times. The IOC couped the winter games (1920/1924) resulting in less interest in the Nordic Games and bandy was left out. The labour movement lead by CCCP gathered for the Spartakiade as an alternative to the burgoise Olympics. Bandy took part. Finally bandy will be part of future Winter Universiades (University Sports), and Continental Games such as Asian Games. The change in the Olympic Charter combined with the fact that bandy is the second largest winter sport and meets all 33 criteria set by IOC (e.g bandy only will require 2 out of 100 events) increases the likelyhood of bandy in the Olympics in future. Or to put it differently. If theres any decency in the Olympic Movement bandy can not be excluded for much longer.
Bullet (3). One erronous argument against bandy is the claim that bandy has few top nations. This is not untirely untrue but the same applies to all 15 Olympic Disciplines. Statistics over all OWG medals (2864) awarded 1924-2014 sorted by Disciplines and Nations conclude that on average 5 Nations have won 82 % of medals in each Discipline. Simplified: 5 nations compete for 3 medals. In team events such as cross country relay the concentration increases with 5 % points (to 90 % in cross countrys examples). Conclusion: The same as bandy, hence the number of top nations is a common phenomenon in all winter sports. The International Bandy Federation (FIB) has grown rapidly to 33 members nations across all continents. Many of the new nations consists of former ice hockey players. A national federation need to be recognized by the National Olympic Comittee (NOC). Some NOCs are trying to put obstacles to the applications, but this will change as it is a breach of fair play and probably the Olympic Charter itself. So bandy has enough nations and meets this criteria.
Bullet (4). Each winter sport Discipline are clusters consisting of a few leading nations. The Disciplines in OWG have a certain national heritage and are often considered national (winter ) sports. Of all the OWG Medals across all Disciplines awarded 1924 - 2014 the Big 12 nations have won 88 out of 100. Of these 78 are taken in Disciplines related to each nations cluster sports or heritage sport. So the composition of Events and Disciplines in the Olympic Programme according to history, culture and heritage explains a lot of National performance. This leads me to my second final point. 9 out of the Big 12 nations have national sports/heritage sports on the OWG Programme. The major exception is Russia where bandy is national sport and Sweden and Finland where bandy is heritage sport. Most analyst reject the idea that Nordic Disciplines are Nordic. These Disciplines heritage and national status is primarily Norwegian. The hockey nations (both with puck and ball) Russia, Finland and Sweden are discriminated against. As bandy grow in Canada and USA and all icehockey nations one can say that hockey players are discrimated against as well. The two biggest winter sports are teams sports on ice. They have 2 out of 100 events in the OWG. Something is seriously wrong in tghe composition of the OWG Programme.
Bullet (5). In 1924 there where 6 Disciplines and 16 Events. In Sochi 2014 there where the same 6 Sports (International Federations) plus Luge (FIL came in 1960), but number of Events have exploded to 98. How come that all new Events come from the very same Federations? - and that many of these federations are microscopical in size compared to bandy! Any OWG after 2020 without bandy on the Programme will in fact lack legitimazy.
Bandy is the fastest ball/team sports on the planet. If you enjoy ballsport, team sport (soccer, icehockey, baseball etc) you have something to look forward to when bandy inevitably enters the Olympics!
+Knut A. Sørensen Wow, that's a very detailed comment. Thanks for taking the time to write it. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
It is shared and I will subscribe :)
Excellent introduction to bandy. The sport public, familiar with team sports, pick this up easily.
Bandy gathers huge crowds even i national finals. This is the acid test of any sport. Few of the winter Olympic sports gather attendance in national competitions. Many of the the other winter sports are entirely dependent on international competitions e.g. OWG broadcasted by 235 TV stations and huge transfers from IOC between the Olympic Games. Up to 80 % of some international federations income are pure IOC transfers.
Bandy is generally recognized for being the overall fastest team sport including all factors of movement: Skating speed (up to 50 km/hour), speed of ball (up to 235 km/hour), rapid shifts in seconds from defensive to offensive parts of the field.
I reckon the explanation for bandy being the second largest winter sport (despite no IOC transfers or PR from OWG) is because Bandy is a proven format:
- Affordable for everyone (right to play)
- More fun
- Resemblance in format of the most succesful sports (fotball, icehockey, American fotball etc)
I believe the IOC will earn on bandy on the Programme as it meets IOC criteria better than many sports currently in the Programme:
- Proven Universality
- True popularity by being the second largest winter sport and without the support of IOC
- Tradition: Great heritage and history
- Low cost: Temporary artifiial ice can be made on any type of existing stadium
. Environmentally friendly rinks
- Gathers audience
- High level of refereeing
- Right to play: affordable for anyone. Contrary to many OWG sports.
-Scalability: Hockey players can easily migrate to bandy. There are 6000 ice hockey rinks in the world. Rink bandy, the other format of 6 players on each team, can be applied overnight in almost all countries.
- and more
Thanks
Bandy is very close to football (soccer) and (ice) hockey. People used to one or both sports will pick it very easy. You can convert soccer pitches into bandy rinks in countries with harsh winters.
If this were to become an Olympic sport Canada would dominate it as we have a vastly higher amount of registered hockey players then any other nation (the US is closeish, but they wouldnt care a whit about this sport). All of the fringe NHL players switching over to Bandy would be pretty sweet.
You wrote a lot. And a very detailed interesting comment man!
looks fun
Yeah it's pretty awesome. If we had ice that big, I'd certainly give it a go. Thanks for stopping by! :)
Maybe you’ve done it already, but make a video about ringette. Excellent, mostly Canadian sport I watched when I lived in North Dakota.
He hasn't done one on ringette unfortunately. I'm not sure he makes these videos anymore so there would have to be a major effort by a very large group of international ringette fans in order for him to possibly make a special exception and it would have to be worth his time because he won't make money from it.
He would would also need far more reference material than I think is available. I looked recently, info on that sport is scarce beyond measure making info on ringette frustratingly obscure. Only information on kaukallopallo (rinkball) is harder.
The IRF International Ringette Federation might be the first place approach if he choses to do so eventually, except it might not be solid. Late last year on twitter one of the former IRF presidents (Finnish one) stated that ringette began because girls weren't allowed to play ice hockey which is FALSE and a massive anti-male myth started by the women's ice hockey lobby in the 1990's, mostly in Canada but also Finland and the USA as well. Canadian women were playing ice hockey in the late 1800's and the first ringette team in history was a group of girls who played ice hockey in high school in Espanola Ontario in 1963. Plus: Women Finns were playing bandy against the bandy playing women Swedes in 1930's and women played bandy informally possibly even prior to the 1800's. No disrespect meant to her, but when a sport's former international president can't get ringette's history right, you know there's a problem in ringette and people might not trust the quality of the information being given, and this guy might not either.
Nicely done video, mr. Man!
Thanks Viktor - much appreciated.
Are you a Tekken fan? Great video btw. Big sport here in Sweden

I’ve never even heard of bandy
But it looks awesome
Yeah it's pretty cool. Once you watch a few games, it's a sport that is different to hockey.
Check out my channel for more content like this! :)
I’ve been playing and working in hockey for 4 years and I’ve never heard of this. I must bring my both my player and goalie gear to try this out if I’m ever in Europe!!
Oh yeah, it's awesome.
Predominantly played in Scandinavian and Russian countries - but if you ever get a chance to play, do it!
But not as a goalie though ... that's a raw deal in Bandy!
Wow We need this game in Canada!!
the game is started with a stroke off,sounds perfect for my teenage son...
+Sarcastamus Raconteur Aha! I see what you did there! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Here's to hope it is included at the 2022 Winter Olympics programme (apparently 2018 is not a possibility anymore), even if just for a small tournament of four to six teams. Great video, by the way. :)
+RaphJam Yeah, I'd personally like to see Bandy at the Winter Olympics! Thanks for the kudos on this video, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Ok, if Bandy gets into the Olympics, then Ringette needs to be in there too!!!!
Looks like it now will have to be in 2023
This is fascinating. Like a cousin of hockey.
Again, good job!
+Wil the Warrior Thanks Wil :)
They probably need 3x as more zambonis the NHL uses during intermission/halftime
Yes, they use several Zamboni's on this thing.
I saw a game in You Tube, they use two Zambonis. They use a cordinated u pattern starting from opposite directions.
@@NinhLyUK Why does the goalie not have a stick?
I play bandy, and there’s always 2 zambonis
@@ricardosoto5770 Most NHL rinks have two Zambonis now as well.
This game actually seems cool cause I’m gonna play hockey soon
It's pretty cool, you'll find Russian NHL stars started out playing Bandy first before going into hockey.
Wow. It's almost as if you read my comment on one of your earlier videos where I (kind of) requested that you do a video about bandy. In any case, thanks!
Great video Ninh, you are great an explaining the rules clearly and straightforward.
+Seán Leahy Thanks Sean, I appreciate the comments. Bur as you can tell, I'm starting to run out of sports to explain. :)
Ninh Ly Indeed! Maybe rounders, handball or shinty?
+Seán Leahy Rounders or Shinty, probably not. But Handball - I've made one of those already. Be sure to check out my videos channel for it! :)
Ninh Ly What about the other type of handball? It a called Gaelic handball in Ireland but its also played internationally.
+Seán Leahy Oh yes, it's very similar to American Handball (or even Squash). I don't believe that's really played professionally, so I doubt I'd get any demand or decent footage for that matter. Maybe if demand changes?
Yo Ninh change your profile picture. I think youd get more views if it was like a stylized graphic of you or something other than the photo on your resume. By the way love your vids and you need more subs and more type of content (but thats really up to you - sports is fine)
+SimplyMyAccount Thanks for the comment. I actually use the same profile picture on all of my social media pages to achieve consistency, as my content is usually featured on all social media. A new profile pic won't do jack to increase views, but people sharing my content will. So please, share this video. Thanks :)

Vetoed Impersonater Dude you're the one who felt the need to declare unsubscribing to a CZcams channel. He wasn't even rude, all he did was explain why he didn't plan in taking the suggestion into consideration
3:24 "And... just like in soccer, diving is rewarded, with the player often being given a free go of it as a result..." ~ Narrator (Director's Cut)
It's actually not. Everyone assumes that you can dive in this game, but it's a damnsight harder to get away with.
Its a superb game , i really need to watch this full game
Absolutely.
great vid thanks pal!!! :)
In Russian, bandy is called "hockey with a ball", as opposed to "hockey with a puck" and "hockey on grass". Before WWII, lots of soviet footballers played bandy in winter. Believe it or not, ice hockey only came to USSR in 1946.
Yes, you're absolutely correct!
Viktor Maslov was the greatest one who played both on the international level. Vsevod Bobrov and Anatoliy Tarasov, the giants of the Soviet ice hockey played both hockeys as well, finally having opted for ice hockey.
Tekken music!!! tekken 3 or tag 1 i dont remember which. lovely choice :D
+Bunny Archer Tekken 3, well spotted! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Thank you!
Hope to see in action this year!
Yes, hopefully things get back to normal this year!
Very good explanation. Although, being a former hockey player, I am not sure how I feel about bandy. Just doesn’t seem quite right to me. Feels like a strange diluted version of hockey.
Fair enough. Bandy is more akin to Field Hockey than it is ice hockey, so if you look at it from that perspective - it doesn't seem so bad.
Sorry to break it to you, but hockey comes from bandy... but if you want to watch a dilluted sport, then hockey should be right up your alley. Take bandy, remove tactics, speed and finesse, then you get hockey.
Bandy is closer to informal pick up hockey or shinny. BTW bandy was also called shinty on ice or hockey on ice. It was the game british soldiers were playing on Canada in 1825. The first recorden game of bandy was in 1813 when someone married shinty who used to be more popular in northern and middle England with ice skating. Modern competition hockey is bandy plus the agression of Lacrosse and Rugby. Bandy is the older gentler sport. Hockey is a more practical ice rink size and spectacular checking Canadian upgrade. But bandy still does has a certain charm as a players game. Not everybody like full contact sports.
Can you do underwater rugby
Newyorkrangers0623 That actually exists?
Love your vids
Thanks Ilari.
Wow I honestly never knew this sport even existed haha. The fact that they start each game with a "stroke off" makes it worth watching just to hear the announcers say that on live TV.
I'm surprised I got so many comments about 'stroke off'.
I honestly thought it was innocent.
it would be much more fun with full contact bc the field is much larger than in ice hockey and it would be much more rewarding for the player zo check another one
+sam vag I dunno man, without the body checking, Bandy has had to evolve into a skill-based game. Sharp passing and quick skating and slick teamwork. When you involve body contact, it becomes more of a game of intimidation like ice hockey, which they want to distance themselves from. Having said that, Russian Bandy players make excellent hockey forwards! Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
Depends how u play it. When i played it i only used full body contact. And u can use it if u skate next to the player with the ball.
Imagine a check at maximun speed....people would fly......and die.
@@ricardosoto5770 Imagine Tom Wilson playing bandy. Deaths every game
@@glenndsouza5447 Think of all the speed you can get skating in that huge rink... car crash speed...
Now this is some soccer I could get used to
I’ve never heard of this sport before but I looked this video up because I heard a comment on something else. Very cool I’m a hockey player and a rugby player in this seems super interesting to me.
So this is for those that cant play hockey.....good to know
take a look at broomball, its for the ppl that cant play either hockey or bandy
Its a different skillset. No curve means you have to try harder to lift the ball. No hitting means you have to be more skilled in puck handling. The goalie is alot harder. The goal is larger making his job harder. Hw also has to jump sometimes
all no curve means is that they have to hit the ball instead of using the stick as leverage... its a ball its not hard to lift... never seen soccer, golf, pool/9-ball/snooker or even field hockey? where they have less of a stick but can still lift the ball... no hitting means nothing, there are non checking divisions in hockey that point is moot... obviously the goalie is a lot harder its a huge net to stop a tiny ball from going in, even field hockey has a smaller net, this has got to be one of the biggest nets for a stick and ball sport if i ever saw one so shooting on something that is the size of the house takes away any skill from the shooters while at the same time makes a good goalie in anything else seem like garbage, name a sport in which a goalie never jumps, ice hockey goalies jump all the time maybe not upwards...
im not saying that ppl cant enjoy it, just stop making it seem like its cool and skilful, if you can skate at an average level you can easily play this game, if you can skate at a better level and have better stick skills and shooting skills then youre obviously a hockey player... its like youre saying childrens skittles (the game) and 10 pin bowling are equally technical and that they just use different skill sets
@Joe Sudz on the contrary to your ignorant assumptions, i have played these sports and other sports you've probably never heard of, im also a qualified sports coach so what if the dynamics are different im saying that they are not equal or do you not understand? You use different dynamics from walking to running but we don't say walking is an entirely different exercise/motion than running to begin with... Just because the dynamics of something is different doesn't mean it's automatically skilful or takes much practice to be good at i can skate, and have played field hockey so i know i can play bandy, ive hit my house with pucks so I know damn well i can score just by sneezing, broom ball you can play on hardwood floor with socks... So try to explain to me why hitting a ball into a huge net just by randomly swinging your stick towards the 80% open chance of scoring is just as skilful dynamic of being able to put the puck into a gap you can't see with perfect accuracy all while trying to beat the goalie who covers that 80% of his goals did you not watch that guy blindly hit it between his legs and still score but when you watch an ice hockey player do that you dint even know what happened because it's not just a lucky shot it was a planned skill that has been practiced i bet the bandy guy watches tennis and gets his inspiration from tennis blind through the leg shots... But as i said before but got past your ignorance, if you can't skate or have stick skills, broomball is for you, if you have basic stick and skating skills or like/played field hockey then bandy it is. If you have better than average skills ice hockey is the go... So tell me have you even stepped foot into an ice rink, let alone played any of these sports? Enlighten me or are you a hypocrite?
@Joe Sudz p.s. I've played all of those i mentioned so what argument do you really have
I've never heard of most of these sports lol where do you find them?
+CanadianBeast5 I don't 'find' them anywhere - most of these sports are extremely popular, but probably not on your side of the world. Bandy is popular in Sweden, Russia and similar European countries. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
+Ninh Ly thanks I will
Any game that starts with a stroke-off is golden in my books!
Awesome.
I knew this sport existed but didn't know anything about it until this video, I have to stay it looks great! I'd love to watch a match live in Europe/Russia one day.
This sport is cultural rivalry among Northern Russia, Sweden, Finland and Norway... no country except these can participate
@@cobra12353not quite right there are many Teams participating the thing is that Sweden Russia Finland Kazakhstan and Norway are so much better so the Bandy World Cup is divided into groups A and B The World Cup is 8 Teams in 2 groups. B vm is 10 Teams in 2 groups these groups are based on the placerinar in for vm
The wall formed in the net is literally a deep thought I would consistently have as a youth hockey player on how to stop goals
It's not a bad way to stop goals!
Its actually not as good as you think. During a corner shot/pass the defending team rushes towards the attacking team. Often theres somebody not being able to keep pace with the others, so you get a hole to shoot at as the attacker, resulting in a dangerous scoring chance
WOOOOOOO NEW VIDEOOOO WOOOOOOOO Wait wtf is bandy?
+Matt “The Gamer” Stringer Yes new video ... and Bandy is ... well ... ummm ... it's pretty much what's in the video :)
+Matt «The Gamer» Stringer it's the second biggest winter sport in the world after Ice Hockey
@@pettersundbyindrevoll6522 lolz r you sure about that?
As a soccer and former hockey player, this looks extremely cool and interesting!
Yes indeed!
saw a 6 second clip of this sport. never seen it in my life. Ninh Ly coming up clutch once again with a very vage search
You should mention the offside rule.
+Mikol941 Should have mentioned a lot of other rules. I don't physically have time to cram it all in, in less than 5 minutes. Thanks for your input - be sure to share this video and subscribe :)
3:35 "just like icehockey, only one stroke" You must have ment just like soccer. XDDD
No. Not really. You only have one shot just like in ice hockey.
Great video. Any chance of an advanced version, detailed team setup, rules, fouls, procedures etc. Cheers
Cool, glad you found this video useful.
I'm not sure what an advanced version would bring, as after knowing the basic rules, you'd need to play or watch it to actually understand everything.

I remember watching this sport watching Swedish television over 40 years ago. Popular in Sweden, Finland and Russia. Played outdoors.
Yes, a lot of people don't realise that this is played outdoors most of the time.
Really no one's gonna mention how giant the rink is
It's pretty massive for sure!
A saw somewhere that you need to skate about 15Km per game in bandy,, that is about 9.5 miles... Lots of skating.
Well it’s not a rink
It’s normal you just put ice on soccer Fields in Sweden, since we don’t have summer breaks instead we have winter breaks
"The game starts with a stroke off..."
Something for everyone I guess?!
I play ice hockey. This looks like a lot of fun. I can also shoot lefty and righty so I wonder if that’s a advantage.
Yay your back! Great video as always. I knew about Bandy prior to this video but didn't know the rules. I'm going to watch some Bandy games now. Also I heard they are going to try Bandy in 2018 in the Olympics but I'm not quite sure how much of that is true. I hope it is.
+Daniel K Yeah, I've been back for a few weeks now, but haven't made a
video for the last two due to work commitments. I'm still trying though.
As far as Bandy is concerned - they've always tried to get Bandy in as a
Winter Olympic sport, but it's always fallen short. The Russians wanted
it in Sochi as it was a virtually guaranteed gold medal for them! But
it's definitely worth a watch :)
+Ninh Ly Wouldn't say guaranteed. Sweden have won the World Championship 5 times during the last 15 years and and Russia 8 times. The final will almost always be between Russia and Sweden though, with a little advantage to the Russians.
MovieIdiot Maybe not guaranteed, but certainly they're favourite for any game - as there's at least 4 million registered Bandy players to choose from over there!
+Ninh Ly I do agree with the Russians being the favorites. But you can't have the amount of players as an argument. Look at football (soccer), USA has the 2nd most registered players in the world (4,186,778) and is ranked 29th in the world. Belgium is found 21st in most registered players (443,383) but is ranked 3rd in the world. It's all about quality.
MovieIdiot I didn't say that was the ONLY factor that supported the Russians being favourite. But you can certainly find better talent and a better structure of development if you have 4 million playing the game as opposed to 40. There are other factors too of course.
Game looks kinda lame tbh but I'd love to skate on that rink..
Read the top comment.
I would love to see Connor McDavid play this.
It'd be an interesting experiment for sure.
Great point.... that man has incredible speed and endurance and doesn’t hit much. Definitely seems he outperform even more in this sport (after adjusting for the talent gap hockey has of course)
looks dope
Looks pretty cool
Yeah it's worth a shot if you ever get a change.
"The game starts with a stroke off" 🤭.
That's usually reserved for the locker rooms.
I'm not sharing a locker room with you bro.
@@NinhLyUK 😂😂😂
I thought it’d end with a stroke off
Watching too much porn there bro!
great vid, really informative. I always thought bandy was played on a basketball court
thats inebandy. its kinda like street hockey.
@@CKr14 floorball på engelska. Kolla VM så får du se att de kallar sporten för det. Annars blir det svengelska ala softmacka
@@zilvertron ??
@@CKr14 sorry, thought you were swedish when you called it innebandy. Its actually floorball, and yes there is some kind of world chamoionship in it, but most of the time its between 3 nations; Finland, Sweden and Switzerland. If you are gonna go pro in it Switzerland is the way to go
@@zilvertron oh ok, my Swedish friend told me about it.
Hey that's pretty cool and I like ice hockey so that's a really big rink for me. Looks fun as well.
Yeah it's a fun sport, for sure.
