Floorball in Ireland?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floorball

Floorball, a type of floor hockey, is an indoor team sport which was developed in the 1970s. It is a fast paced sport, with limited physical contact allowed. Floorball is most popular in areas where the sport has developed the longest, such as the Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland.[citation needed] The game is played indoors on a gym floor, making it a year-round sport at the amateur and professional levels. There are professional leagues, such as Finland's Salibandyliiga and Sweden's Svenska Superligan.

While there are 49 members of the International Floorball Federation (IFF), the Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland have finished in most of the coveted 1st, 2nd and 3rd places at the Floorball World Championships.

In addition to those four countries, floorball is gaining popularity in countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and the United States.

Just wondering if there were any clubs in Ireland? Basically it's like Ice-Hockey but played on a normal gym floor (without skates), a plastic ball and shorter sticks.

Hi Deman,
I've just returned from Australia, where I used to play Floorball in an amateur mixed league. I've been looking up Floorball clubs in Dublin and you can find some information on http://floorballireland.com/. You can send them a message. They should be able to send you a list of clubs.

TO ANYONE WITH AN INTEREST IN FLOORBALL IN IRELAND!

The recently formed Irish Floorball Association (IFA) http://www.floorball.org/default.asp?sivu=436 has taken over the activities as governing body of Floorball in Ireland from http://floorballireland.com/ started in 2007 which ceased to exist. We are a provisional member of the International Floorball Federation (IFF) http://www.floorball.org/ and are currently based in Killarney, Co. Kerry where also the first club, the Killarney Vikings http://www.facebook.com/pages/Killarney-Vikings-IBK/109010512494701 has been formed and become the first registered club. We are looking to start a National League by September 2011 and also a National team to follow. We are still in the start up phase and are actively seeking players and members all over Ireland. We would be more than happy to come to you and show you the sport and help you to get started in your area! We are planning a promotional trip to Dublin at the end of January!!

The Killarney Vikings need competition!!

Looks good, I'll have to research the sport a little more though. Big advantage is the equipment, I really can't afford to be paying for the inline stuff.

We're a bunch of lads and a girl! (Canadians, Czechs, Slovaks, Swedes) who play street hockey (ball hockey) in Loughlinstown, South Dublin on Sundays. We're not too serious, we just play for fun and we are looking for players, let me know if you are interested - eric@dublin.ie

Hi, we are 15 mates((40 yrs +(age do not matter)) playing floorball twice a week just for fun. No special kind of rules. We are thinking of visiting Dublin(travel by Ryanair from Oslo Rygge Airport in Norway), playing floorball and do two or three pub walks. If we manage to arrange the tour do you think it would be possible to meet Blanchardstown for a match? Regards, Audun K.

Sorry to bring up an old thread.

Just wondering if there's any floorball in Dublin these days? Google doesn't seem to come back with many results.

Started playing it in Wellington last year and I wouldn't mind keeping it going.

robbyutd

Search for Dublin Floorball

carnie

Cheers..

I searched earlier and found the floorball Dublin page but there wasn't much going on there.


So is Coolmine the only place it's played in Dublin?
