    Bandy has been likened to soccer on ice, except you carry a stick too. Picture eleven on a side, skating on a surface the size of a soccer pitch, knocking around a spheroid about the size of a tennis ball. That's bandy.

    As you might expect, it’s big in places like Sweden and Russia.

    I’d never heard of the sport until recently. Has anyone here ever seen a bandy match or played in one???

    As a lifelong soccer and hockey player, I have wanted to try bandy ever since I heard of it, years ago.
