Gourt > Sports > Hockey > Bandy
Bandy is a winter sport, where a ball is hit with a stick. It is often considered to be an ancestor of ice hockey, but there is no definite historical evidence for this theory. It likely descended from shinty (Scotland) or hurling (Ireland) and in turn field hockey. Bandy is played outdoors on a sheet of ice, and has rules that are similar to association football.
A synonym to bandy used to be the term hockey on the ice, due to the sport being "field hockey played on ice", but since this term can be confused with ice hockey, most people prefer the term bandy nowadays.
Bandy is now played in a few nations, including Russia, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Kazakhstan, Belarus, the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Estonia, Hungary, and Mongolia.
