Rink bandy
Ballgame-team sport played on ice / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Rink hockey or Rinkball.
Rink bandy is a variant of the larger sport of bandy. Unlike bandy which is played on a large bandy field, rink bandy is played on significantly smaller ice hockey-sized ice rinks.
