The game
Floorball as a game comes from northern Europe. It is similar to Bandy, a kind of sport considered the predecessor of ice hockey. Bandy is a Winter sport, where a ball is hit with a stick It shares a common ancestry with Ice hockey, in that it likely developed from the informal "ball and Ice hockey, often referred to simply as hockey, is a team Sport played on Ice. Floorball is sometimes likened to ice hockey without the ice skates, but there are considerable differences in the rules. Floorball is also widely compared to floor hockey and ball hockey.
Floorball is usually played on a regulation sized court (40 x 20 metres) or on smaller courts measuring 30 x 15 m and higher. On a smaller court a team consists of three to four field players and one goalie. The rules do not differ, except for some adjustments that take account of the smaller court. In the initial years of floorball, the goalkeeper was permitted to use a special kind of stick, but today no stick is used.
On the standard court, the game is played by five players and one goalie on each side. The team consists of a larger number of players which can be substituted at any time. A floorball game is usually played over 3 periods of 20 minutes. Time is stopped in the case of time penalties, goals and time-outs. There is a break of ten minutes between the periods. If the game is part of a tournament, the time may be shortened to 2 x 20 minutes and the break to 5 minutes. In tournaments the rules can vary so that in the last three minutes the clock is only running when the ball is in play, otherwise the clock is now stopped for all stoppage in play in regular games. Each team is allowed a timeout of 30 seconds. There are two referees to oversee the game, each with equal authority.
The stick used in floorball is strictly regulated. The shaft may be at most 105 cm long, and the whole stick must not weigh more than 350 grams. Its material is composite or carbon and it is hollow. Generally lighter sticks are preferred. The ball is made of plastic and is found in a wide variety of colours, the ball is also hollow. It has a diameter of 72 mm and weighs between 20 and 23 grams. There are 26 holes, each of which measuring 11 mm. The goals are 160 cm wide and 115 cm high; their depth is 65 cm.
The goaltender wears special equipment. Goalie trousers are long and padded. The shirt is padded and might be long. The goalie is allowed to wear gloves, but a mitt is not permitted. The goalie wears a helmet to protect his/her face. All the equipment worn by the goalie has the purpose to protect the goalkeeper and must not augment the area as covered by the goalie without the protective wear. The goalie does not have a stick. The field players on the other hand only wear shorts, a shirt, socks and indoor sport shoes. They are allowed shin guards, eye protectors and padding (vital areas).
Although floorball is not as physical as ice hockey, the sport has evolved in recent years to allow increased levels of bodily contact. Ice hockey, often referred to simply as hockey, is a team Sport played on Ice. For example, shoulder to shoulder checking is permitted when opposing players are competing for a loose ball. Floorball has also seen a rise in checking when the play is concentrated in the corners or along the boards. The best comparison in terms of legal physical contact is soccer, where checking is used to improve one's positioning in relation to the ball rather than to remove an opposing player from the play.
If a player commits a foul, a free shot is awarded to the opposing team. There are time penalties of two and five minutes for harder fouls; ten minutes are reserved for unsportsmanlike behaviour. For extreme cases there are match penalties (red card).
History
The new sport with the name floorball was first played in Sweden and Norway in the early 1970s. "Sverige" redirects here For other uses see Sweden (disambiguation and Sverige (disambiguation.

It soon gained popularity at schools and in leisure clubs. At that time, the goals were much smaller, but there was no goal keeper. This form is still very common when playing recreationally, and is often refferred to as streetbandy.
Floorball soon caught on and in the late 1970s the sport spread across Europe. This article is about the Decade 1970-1979 For the Year 1970 see 1970. In the early 1980s many national associations were founded. The 1980s was the decade spanning from January 1 1980 to December 31 1989.
