Bandy is a team winter sport played on ice, in which skaters use sticks to direct a ball into the opposing teams goal.[1] The sport has common background with association football, ice hockey and field hockey. Like football, the game is played in halves of 45 minutes each, there are eleven players on each team, and the bandy field is the same size as a football field. It is played on ice like ice hockey, but like field hockey, players use bowed sticks and a small ball. If it is very cold or if it is snowing, the match can be broken into thirds of 30 minutes each.
