....at bandy camp.
The Minneapolis Storm is in the middle of our annual International bandy camp at Richfield Arena.... a camp record 150 kids including 15 kids from Sweden and a couple of Russians.
Bandy, or "Russian Hockey", is credited with the meteoric rise of the Soviet Union ice hockey teams in the last half of last century and the "European Style" of play where possession and looping instead of playing in straight lines was their preferred style of play. It is very popular across scandinavia and Russia.
A nice palate cleanser for kids who have hockey camps and programs thrown at them 24/7/365. Good video by WCCO:
