Along with the USSR, Sweden and Finland, Norway is one of the International Bandy Federation founders. The coach of the team is Igor Prakht, who was playing for Khabarovsk SKA in his day. On the world championship 2017 the Norwegians defeated Kazakhstan and came back to the quartet of the strongest. Their bandy is different from others with high speed and dynamic as the spectators like. There are many big and strong players who are not intended to stop.
