The game of floorball was invented in Sweden a couple of decades ago, and over the past decade, it has become the most popular sport in the country. It's a fast hockey-like game, played using fiber-composite sticks and a light ball. There are professional, as well as amateur leagues in many European countries; most of them in Sweden, Finland and Switzerland. The official format of the game is five players + a goalkeeper on each team. The goalkeeper has no stick, and the goal is about the size of an ice hockey goal.

No body- or stick- checking is allowed.

At MIT, the game is played four-on-four, using smaller goals usually with no goalkeepers. We have larger goals to use when goalkeepers play!
