Which of these team sports is played on ice?

Bandy is a team winter sport played on ice, in which skaters use sticks to direct a ball into the opposing team's goal.

The sport is considered a form of hockey and has a common background with ice hockey and field hockey. Bandy has also been influenced by the rules of association football: both games are normally played in halves of 45 minutes, there are 11 players on each team, and the fields in both games are about the same size. Bandy is played, like ice hockey, on ice but players use bowed sticks and a small ball, as in field hockey.

A variant of bandy, rink bandy, is played to the same rules but on a field the size of an ice hockey rink, with ice hockey goal cages and with six players on each team, or five in USA Rink Bandy League. Traditional eleven-a-side bandy and rink bandy are recognized by the International Olympic Committee.

Based on the number of participating athletes, bandy is the world's second-most participated winter sport after ice hockey. Bandy is also ranked as the number two winter sport in terms of tickets sold per day of competitions at the sport's world championship.

However, compared with the seven Winter Olympic sports, bandy's popularity is not well regarded by the International Olympic Committee. This is held to constitute a roadblock to future Olympic inclusion.

Shinty and hurling share similarities with field hockey and are played on grass. Volleyball is generally played on a smooth surfaced court, but not on ice.
