Floorball is the fastest growing team sport in the world. It’s played by over 3 million people in Europe and Canada! This site does a good job of laying out the game, click the link to find out more and check the video category out on the left to get more of an idea of what this amazing game is about!

What is the BC Floorball Federation all about ? Our goals are:

(a) to develop awareness and participation of the sport of Floorball in British Columbia

(b) to assist players of Floorball, Floorball Teams and competition organizers in improving their knowledge of the sport.

(c) to conduct coaches and referee clinics to support the infrastructure of Floorball growth.

(d) to respect the integrity, spirit and rules of the International sport of Unihockey and/or Floorball

(e) to foster connections with partner sports like Hockey, Field Hockey, Soccer, Lacrosse and Ball Hockey to encourage inclusiveness versus exclusiveness, accessibility to Floorball for everyone, including wheelchair athletes.

(f) to act as a central point of contact in British Columbia for all enquiries relating to the sport.

That’s a start! More to come!!!!
