It's an indoor sport, like ice hockey but without the skates and helmets etc.
There's the same amount of players in the rink as in ice hockey, 5 players + goalie.
The rink is about 40 meters long and 20 meters wide. The game is basicly very much like ice hockey, but tackles are not allowed. In a non-official match you don't even need rink, you just need the sticks, two goals and a ball. That's why the game is so widely popular in Finland and Sweden.
The ball is hollow, and it has 26 holes in it if I remember correctly.
Here's a pic of a player from the Swedish national team in full gear.
Here's a pic of a warm up session before a match from our last season.
And here's me without my Indian colored helmet. The pic is now obsolete, no more long hair.
EDIT: Oh yeah,
wikipedia gives a good explanation, and if you want to see this sport in action, check the
