Bandy
Bandy is a winter sport and ball sport played by two teams wearing ice skates on a large ice surface (either indoors or outdoors) while using sticks to direct a ball into the opposing team's goal.

The field is considerably larger than the ice rinks commonly used for ice hockey, rink bandy, or figure skating.
