What is bandy ?

Bandy is played on an ice rink the size of a football pitch. There are ten outfield players and a goalkeeper, with flying substitutions.

The offside rule is similar to that used in football, whilst the penalty system is similar to that in ice hockey. The match consists of two 45-minute halves with a 15-minute break between them.
