Bandy
Bandy is a
winter sport, where a ball is hit with a stick. It is an ancestor of
ice hockey. The game is played outdoors on a sheet of ice, and has rules that are similar to
association football.An old name for bandy is hockey on the ice or hockey on ice, due to the sport essentially being "
field hockey played on ice", but since the mid-20th Century the term bandy is usually preferred, so as not to confuse the sport with
ice hockey.In English as in many other languages in most parts of the world, the term bandy is used. Notable exceptions are Russian, where bandy is still called hockey with ball (xоккей с мячом), and ice hockey is called hockey with puck (xоккей с шайбой) and Finnish, where bandy is ice ball (jääpallo) and ice hockey is ice puck (jääkiekko).
