Nowadays the sport is a clear example of the modern winter sports. Normally, in winter sports you may have very important injuries so there is a specific equipment for this sport. The equipment includes the helmet, wich protects you from head injuries, shoulder pads, elbow pads, mouth guard, protective gloves, heavily padded shorts, athletic cup, shin pads and skates.
The goaltenders have extra equipment: chest/arm protector, blocker, catch glove, and leg pads.
The game is played by 6 players, including one goaltender, per team at any time, and each one has the skates. Also, players can redirect the disk with every part of the body except the hands, and it is forbidden to pass the disk to a teammate while they are not in their defensive zone. It is forbidden to kick the disk to the opponents goal too. It is forbidden to pass the disk forward, the only way to pass it is backwards.
The pitch is surrounded by boards, wich can help you redirecting and playing with the disk. The boards can also be used as a tool for dodging enemies.
