Bandy

Bandy is played on an ice rink the size of a soccer field with a low barrier along the side of the rink to stop the ball from rolling out of play. Teams are composed of 11 players on skates, who work to shoot the ball into the other team's net and prevent the other team from scoring into theirs.

Broomball

Broomball is similar to ice hockey: it is played on a regular ice hockey arena with the same intention as hockey and that is to score more goals then your opposition. Broomball players run on the ice using specially designed shoes. Players move a rubber ball, approximately six inches in diameter, around the ice surface with the aid of a broom, and like ice hockey, the teams try to get the puck into the net more often than their opponent.

Field Hockey

Field Hockey, or (just plain) Hockey as it is known in most parts of the world, is a stick and ball game with origins dating back thousands of years. It's traditionally played on grass, but it has become increasingly popular to play on synthetic surfaces at the elite level and in certain countries.
