US WOMEN’S TEAM IS IN A VERY EXCITING DEVELOPMENT AIMING FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
The US women’s program is looking to make waves at the 2025 Women’s Bandy World Championship in March, with what could very well be its most competitive US Women’s team yet. The ambition is probably great in the hard-working US Women’s team. The team showed a strong development during the last championship when the team took bronze after Sweden and Finland. The USA tied Finland twice in the group stage and won the bronze medal game against the Netherlands 4-0. This year a total of 8 nations are participating in the women’s tournament. That makes the women’s tournament particularly interesting. Participating teams are Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and USA.

THE USA MEN’S TEAM LOOKING TOWARDS THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AFTER THE FIRST TRAINING MATCH
The USA Men’s Team have done the first training match at the Roseville Oval. The national team played against Minnesota All-Star team. The USA squad was a little rusty in the beginning. It was two years since the last World Championship in 2023. But the team gained confidence during the match and won 4-3. In addition to several long time veteran players, the team had several younger players in the lineup including Nolan Haney, Orion Olson, Kirby Horgan, Evan Erickson and Alex Turtinen. (See photo below).
Team USA will be training hard over the next several months for the World Championship in Sweden starting 24 March. The USA men’s team finished 5th in the last World Championship. The team aims with great certainty for a place higher up in the final table when this year’s championship is decided in Swedish Lidköping 24-30 March. The six teams competing in March is Finland, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Norway, Sweden and USA. It is an increase of one team since the tournament in 2023. It is Hungary who, after two straight wins in the men’s B group, is now in the A group.
