Bandy Super League (Russia)

Bandy is one of Russia’s National Sports, where it is known as Hockey with a Ball as opposed to Hockey with a Puck (Ice Hockey).

It is played on Ice with a ball rather than a puck.

Versions of the sport include Innebandy (also known as Floorball in Europe or Ball Hockey in North America) where runners are used on a hard floor rather than blades or roller skates. (see https://eirball.ie/roller-hockey/ for more details on Floor Hockey and Ball Hockey – Floorball results also available at: https://eirball.ie/floorball/ and Ball Hockey Results also available at: https://eirball.ie/ball-hockey/ )

Portuguese Roller Hockey League

Roller Hockey is like Ice Hockey or Inline Hockey but played on a hard surface (such as a community centre floor) with a ball and quad skates (four wheels – one at each corner – rather than in a line). It is extremely popular in Portugal, where it is a National Sport, as well as in Brazil and around the world.
