USA Women's Bandy

USA Women's Bandy The OFFICIAL page for USA Women's Bandy Bandy is played on a sheet of ice the size of a soccer field.

For those who are unfamiliar with the sport of bandy, (which is most people in North America!) it can best be described as a combination of hockey and soccer. While the equipment very much resembles hockey, (including skates and sticks) the rules are more akin to soccer. Each team has 10 skaters plus a goalie, and the object of the game is to shoot the ball, (which is similar in size to a hockey puck) into the opponent's net, (which measures 7 feet tall and 11 feet wide). This sport is often referred to as "the fastest game on ice" thanks to the amount of free space that skaters have to work with. Bandy is hugely popular in the Scandinavian countries and in eastern Russia. Based on the number of participating athletes, it is the second most popular winter sport in the entire world, and there is a movement towards its inclusion in future Winter Olympic Games. In the US, bandy is played exclusively at the Guidant John Rose Minnesota OVAL, in Roseville, MN. This facility is the only regulation size bandy rink in all of North America. The US Women's National Bandy Team was founded in 2004. The team competes in Women's World Championships, which take place biannually at various locations around the globe. Additionally, the USWNT competes in the American Bandy Association First Division each winter at the OVAL, as the only all-female team in the league.

NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸
25 years ago, America and mankind suffered an unfathomably evil attack. Today - and always - we remember the thousands of innocent victims who were lost on that tragic day.
Gone but never forgotten. God rest their souls.

FUN NEW FUNDRAISER: USA WOMEN’S BANDY FANTASY FOOTBALL “PICK ‘EM” LEAGUE! 🏈
Looking for a great way to support a great cause and maybe win some money while doing it?!
Join the USA Women's Bandy NFL Pick 'Em League! Your participation will help support USA Women's Bandy, both locally and abroad, AND you will have an opportunity to compete for some BIG prize money! 💰
How the league works:

1️⃣ 50% of the entry fees will be allocated as prize money to the top three winners! We are estimating at least 100 participants, which would mean first prize of $5,000, second prize of $3,000, and third prize of $2,000! The other 50% of entry fees will be donated to USA Women's Bandy to pay for ice time, equipment, travel for the USA National team, and other efforts to grow this amazing sport in the U.S.!

2️⃣ The entry fee is $200 + $9 processing fee.

3️⃣ Each week, select one NFL team you believe will win its game. If your team wins, you advance to the next week. If your team loses, you are eliminated. The last three players remaining will win big money!

4️⃣ Fun catch: Once you have selected a team, you cannot use that team again for the rest of the season.
How to register:

1️⃣ Register through LeagueSafe: https://www.leaguesafe.com/join/4467774/usa-womens-bandy-nfl-pickem-league
2️⃣ Create a LeagueSafe account and pay the entry fee.
3️⃣ After payment, a thank you message will appear with a link to join the actual league through CBS Sports.
4️⃣ Navigate to the CBS Sports link, create an account, and join our league.
The deadline to join is September 8, 2026.
Please note that this is a fundraiser supporting a non-profit, so your entry fee may be tax deductible. Please discuss with your tax expert to see if this benefit applies to you.
Thanks you! Go USA! 🇺🇸

That’s a Wrap! 👏
Last night another season of Liberty League Bandy came to a close at the Eden Prairie Community Center. It’s always sad to see it end - not just because it signals the impending end of summer, but also because it’s such a fun weekly event on the calendar that so many of us look forward to.
The final game of 2026 turned out to be one for the ages. While the guys held a comfortable lead for most of the match over the squad of select US women’s players, the ladies came storming back at the very end - they scored three goals in the final minutes, including TWO in the game’s final 20 seconds! But it wasn’t quite enough, as the men prevailed in the final tilt by a score of 10-9.
Afterwards, the traditional camaraderie took place in the rink parking lot for one final time - not sponsored by, but prominently featuring USA Women’s Bandy’s favorite beverage of choice: Hamm's!
Speaking of (actual) sponsors... HUGE thank you goes out to Liberty League Chief, Jeff Arundel for organizing and funding another awesome summer of training and fun. It’s not a coincidence that not long after the Liberty League was launched, US Women’s National Teams have begun bringing home hardware from World Championships - including top-three finishes in each of the past four international events. These summer workouts are immensely valuable to developing the top US female players and growing the game of bandy in America. And, as already noted, they are also a REALLY good time.
Cheers to YOU, Chief! 🍻 We’re already looking forward to summer 2027!
🏑🥅🗽
