About Floorball
Floorball is a fast-paced, exciting, safe and low-cost type of indoor hockey. It resembles floor hockey or ball hockey but is played with light-weight plastic composite sticks and rules that promote safety and skill. Floorball can be played practically anywhere and is ideal for schools, community centres or for hockey teams as off-ice training. Come out and practice your stickhandling, shooting and passing skills. If you love hockey you will love floorball.
