People are in agreement that Floorball is an excellent alternative to Floor Hockey and Unihoc. The big difference between the two is that the rules of Floorball do not allow for any high sticking, stick contact or body contact, so the game tends to be less physical and more skill oriented and fast paced. It is a safer game! Floorball is played using a stick with a curved and concave plastic blade. The shaft is shorter than a traditional hockey stick and round, which makes it very maneuverable. This design allows for a shot that is more of a whipping or flicking type of motion as opposed to a slap shot. The stick is not permitted to be above the waist (knee for youth) on the back or fore stroke when taking a shot. There is no puck or heavy ball; instead a lightweight, plastic ball is used. The ball is extremely fast and can be easily lifted, bounced and deflected. The rules of the game require fair play and promote heightened participation among all students.
