Bandy is a game similar to hockey, played on an ice-covered football pitch. The players each have a stick with a crook at the end with which they strike a wooden or other hard ball, trying to strike the ball into the opposition goal. Originally an outdoor game, a condensed version known as rink-bandy is played indoors in Holland, but the game lives on mainly in Finland, Mongolia, Norway, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Sweden.
