Source-derived summary

Canada Bandy is the governing body for bandy in Canada. Its headquarters are located in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The Canadian program for bandy was started in 1986, inspired by the US experiences with the sport. At first it was only concentrated to the area around Winnipeg. Canada Bandy became a member of Federation of International Bandy (FIB) on 6 July 1983.

Canada has national bandy teams for both the men's and women's category: the Canadian men's national bandy team and the Canadian women's bandy team. The men compete in the Bandy World Championship while the women compete in the Women's Bandy World Championship.

Canada also plays America in the annual Can-Am Bandy Cup.

Canada Bandy's current organizational status and the current status of both national teams is unknown.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Canada Bandy” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Canada, Bandy and sports provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q10441362. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1986 and 1983.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
