"Han tycker om att spela innebandy."

Translation: He likes to play floorball.

[Metalgearmaycry]

I've never heard this called 'floorball'.

[Lundgren8]

It’s a sport which is popular in Sweden. Basically it’s mostly played in Sweden and Finland. See the Wikpedia entry here.

[Metalgearmaycry]

I'm aware. I've just never heard it called 'floorball'.

[Zmrzlina]

What have you called it?

[nvasic]

It is commonly referred to as indoor hockey in Australia.

[PJAU86]

Same in the UK. Always called it indoor hockey or just hockey. Never heard of floorball.

[SeptimusBones]

If by indoor hockey you mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_field_hockey it is a completely different sport. If not, disregard my comment.

Oh, and here's a link to floorball for reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floorball

[Nevae604]

Yep, the closest equivalent in Canada is indoor hockey, as it's played with a field hockey style stick and ball. Floor and ball hockey are both played with ice hockey style sticks, but floor hockey is with a puck and is inside, while ball hockey is with a ball and can be indoors or outdoors (but not on the street, because that's street hockey)...

[Embla_]

I know it as 'unihockey' (dutch)

[Poranny]

Also "unihokej" in Polish

[Metalgearmaycry]

Innebandy.

[Zmrzlina]

Even in an English context?

[mokane3562]

Here in Atlantic Canada I've only ever heard it called ball hockey

[MarleyDick]

In Canada it is referred to floorball nationwide. Just a lot less popular than it is in Sweden/Finland. A small amount of people play it, and some hockey players play the sport in the offseason to improve their 'stickhandling'. But ball hockey is a different sport and far more popular/played among the Canadian population.

[Prof3ssorSt3v3]

In Canada there is floor hockey and ball hockey. The difference being a puck or a ball. Floor hockey is also played indoors. Ball hockey can be played indoors or outdoors.

[Antti22]

På finska: salibandy (official) and sähly (colloquial)

There's also this awesome game originated in Sweden: [[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindball]]

[PotatoSanta]

I have only heard floorball to differentiate it from ice hockey, so it may be less common in warmer places.

[FerEtayoRguez]

I did call it floorball back at school, and I am from Spain!

[yuyu2809]

¿Bolasuelo? ¿Suelobola? Ni de coña ;)

[DuncanHill0]

I'd never heard of floorball, but guessed it must be some kind of indoor bandy.

[Jeanbean425734]

I have never heard of bandy or floorball. You learn something new every day. I'm one day ahead now.

Actually, I've never heard of floor hockey or ball hockey, either. I wonder if they are played in the U.S. We do have field hockey all over the place, but of course that is played outside.

[FrozenTundraFoxy]

Then what is the awesome sport Bandy called? Reletive to outdoor instead on indoor?

[Darol81]

Bandy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandy) is this sport. It's called bandy both in English and in Swedish.

[Patrice110980]

Jag är en innebandy spelar från Sveits

[ElizHeir]

We have floor hockey here in the Midwestern US.

[Jeanbean425734]

OK, thanks for clarifying, ElizHeir!

[Egbert-NL]

This question seems to be lost from sports, I don't see the medical connection.

[Gnurfel]

Lol. I once got a question about turtles in the Clothing section. Duo keeps you on your toes, for sure :)
