Time to play Unihoc (cont.)

¡K

According to an electronic Underlag survey that Anders made at NCTU last semester, Taiwanese people care much about safety when performing sport activities. What also was considered as important is that the sport should be fun, easy to learn and being possible to play both for beginners and more experienced players. Unihoc perfectly suits into that demands.

In year 2009 the World Games will be held in Kaohsiung (°ª¶¯¥«) in Taiwan. There will Unihoc probably be a participant, as the International Floorball Federation has applied for observer status for the Unihoc sport. Except from being a fun sport, that is one more reason for NCTU students to start practice.

Unihoc facts:

• Similar to ice hockey, but without ice

• Invented in 1969 by the Swedish man Carl-Åke Ahlqvist
