This is not scientific... most likely LTAD is...

It is a fact that two countries with high Floorball penetration in school - do play the 2013 World Ice Hockey Championship Final.

Switzerland vs. Sweden.

Ohh, yes the world Final in U19 Floorball was played between two countries with high Floorball penetration in school too. ;-D

Sweden vs. Switzerland.

HOPP SWISS!

Can that just be a mere and funky coincidence? - or/and can it happen again and again?  LOL!

updated...
Oops, a dear friend from Switzerland just informed us that they now have more Floorball players in Switzerland as compared to hockey players... and another one said that a former Hockey boss in Sweden (Richard Fagerlund) once said that Floorball stole so many youth players from Hockey... (today Sweden sport roughly twice as many Floorball players as Hockey players)...

Do not worry brother and sister - look again on the countries playing the final in World Hockey... 2013  -  and NOW tell us if the Floorball presence in schools could be... bad or good for Hockey?

Let us toss in a cryptic acronym here too..
#LTAD

;-D

We just hate to steal material... but sometimes some material is too good not to be re-posted here..
So yet again we have taken the liberty to do an enormous "quote" from another site...

This time from playfloorball.com and the subject is Canada Cup.

“Give it a try and I promise that you'll love it,” says Robin Nilsberth, when asked to share his passion for floorball.

Nilsberth, 24, has been playing floorball since he was six years old. He describes how much he loves the game of floorball and tells Canadian youth how important it is to give the sport a try.

“It's a very fast and unpredictable game. I love everything about it,” says Nilsberth, “If you would you like to play a fast, intensive sport then try floorball. It’s a sport that everyone can play,” he says.

Nilsberth plays competitive floorball at home in Sweden for the Granlo BK Floorball Club. He played for Team Sweden in the 2012 World Championship held in Switzerland when Sweden demolished Finland 11-5 in the final. Nilsberth says that winning that game was a “dream come true”.


OK this is not the full story - the full story is to be found here...

Is this the best Canadian movie ever made?

Moo - How many times do we have to compare like this?

We think Floorball is good for Hockey.

We do not say that if you play much Floorball as a Hockey player that you will become the best one.
But, we say if you want to play good Hockey and you have not had Floorball in your school system - then we say though luck - darn tough luck.. its like not something we would recommend, to anyone... dude.

Yes, we are back at one of these funky comparisons again...

Let us just lay out some facts;
A few of the countries with the highest Floorball penetration in school are:
Sweden, Finland and Switzerland (and a few more like the Czech, Singapore and so on).
Here is another fact to chew on - out of 4 countries in the current World Ice Hockey Championship...
You find Sweden, Finland and Switzerland in the semi finals - 3 out of 4 yes.
Now you dear reader do the conclusion...

Whats more... Hmm

Tomorrow morning at 10.30 - in just a few hours from now,,, one of Sweden's very best Hockey teams will do a full Floorball practice session.

The local main Floorball coach Mr, Christian Lindahl will do specific Floorball drills with em..

Why do you think?

And why do they not do Floor Hockey or Ball Hockey or Knee Hockey drills instead?

Sometimes the reality is too unbelievable to be true... 

Go America Go!
