An outdoor bandy game in Sweden is cut short, 1959

Bandy was introduced to Sweden in 1895. The Swedish royal family, noblemen and diplomats were the first players. Swedish championships for men have been played annually since 1907. In the 1920s students played the game and it became a largely middle class sport.

Bandy is played by using a ball whereas ice hockey is played using a puck. In bandy, both teams have eleven players each whereas in ice hockey, both teams have six players each. Bandy rink is larger than that of ice hockey rink.
