The ISBHF board has decided to declare former ISBHF president
Mr. Domenic Di Gironimo and former ISBHF vice-president Mr. Jaroslav Melisek to persona non grata in the international ball hockey scene.
Banning them from the participation in any event organised by the ISBHF as officials, team-officials, players, spectators or in any other form. This decision is coming into force immediately.
Mr. Domenic Di Gironimo and Mr. Jaroslav Melisek have established this summer, an association called the World Ball Hockey Federation (WBHF).
This new association immediately went into direct confrontation with the ISBHF by
- planning a world championship in 2013 at the same time as the ISBHF
- contacting members of the ISBHF and trying to convince them to participate at the WBHF championship.
The ISBHF is not willing to tolerate such behaviour by anyone, as this will cause harm to our sport and could put the worldwide development in ball hockey at risk.
The ISBHF further encourages its members to make a similar statement with regards to games under their jurisdiction.

On April 6 Mr Miroslav Subrt passed away, an honorary president of the International Ice Hockey Federation and a good friend of ball hockey.

He was a great ball hockey advocate and visionary of new ways of sport development. Mr Subrt belonged among the few highly ranked ice hockey officials who understood the mission of ball hockey for growth of hockey family of sport.
He opened the door to meet Mr Fasel, IIHF President, and particularly Mr Soitchi Tomita, IIHF Vice President who supported ISBHF in approaching asian countries.
Mr Subrt gave us the necessary self-confidence to develop the sport worldwide. He loved sport at every level and his enthusiasm was the same for kids who won a school as it was to award World champions. He was always there with us as he admired how we succeeded – without big money and media support.

ISBHF awarded Mr Subrt an honorary membership in 2004.

Mr Subrt will always belong as an important development figure to the history of ball hockey.

German Street Hockey on Rise Again

2011-07-26T12:59:18+02:00

After a winter of restructuring their national organization, Germany returned to the World Cup in fine fashion with an 8th place finish in the 10 nation A-Pool, this past June in Bratislava. The National Championship was held last weekend in Bayreuth and the final ranking: German champion 2011: Heilbronn Hornets 2nd: Green Monsters Kaufbeuren 3rd: Bayreuth Hurricanes 4th: Wild Dragons Hamm National team head coach Dieter Hegen scouted all the games on both days as he prepares for 2013 WC in Canada.

The evolution of the new level of cooperation in the country continues at the next general meeting of the german street & ballhockey federation (DSHB) which will be held november 12 / 13 .

Czechs Make It Two In A Row

2011-06-26T10:45:08+02:00

Jan Prihoda opened the scoring at 5:00 of the first period with a blast from the slot after a brilliant feed from behind the Canadian net. Minutes later Canada hit the goal post of an open net. Other than that the first period was fairly even in played, and similar in style to the 2:2 draw during the round robin. The Czechs began to exert more dominance in the second period opening quickly with another rocket from the slot off a faceoff. Jan Pospisil made it 2:0. Frank Giustini got one back for Canada within two minutes and the Canadians tempo picked up, producing a few more opportunities before a scramble in front of Canada's net resulted in Martin Krucek slipping one under the arm of goalie David Di Gironimo. The Czech defence, much as it did against the Slovaks in the semi-finals controlled the corners and in front of their own goal, shutting down any good opportunities. All-star Di Gironimo was tested repeatedly stopping 33 of the 36 shots he faced, but it would not be enough to stop Team Czechia. Canada was held to only 19 shots in the game, which Tournament MVP Lukas Heczko handled all but one. This gold mark's the Czech Republic's second in a row and third in history. The silver is Canada's 2nd, to go along with their 5 gold medals. Read more about the game on www.bratislava2011.com or watch a replay on www.huste.tv.

Slovakia Medals Again

2011-06-26T05:49:24+02:00

Slovakia defended its streak of attaining a medal at every world championship, the only nation to achieve this. Michal Chovan 3 assists, and game star Robert Kassa's strong performance powered the 7:2 bronze medal victory over the USA. The USA were never able to get energized and mount a comeback as they did the night before in the semi-finals. The boisterous home crowd stayed on hand for the ISBHF Annual Awards which included: Volunteer of the Year - Robert Kostal; International Development - Jaroslav Melisek; Robert Mueller Memorial - Roman Pisny; Junior Player of the Year - Andrew Shaw. Inducted into the Hall of Fame were Richard Kral (CZE), Robert Kostal (SVK), and Gus Kourousis (CAN).

Canada Makes a Date With Czech Republic

2011-06-25T11:12:30+02:00

Veteran Terry Ryan scored Canada's first and last goals in the high scoring affair with the USA. Sniper Denny Schlegal added two plus an assist for the Americans but it was not enough as they fell 5:6. Canada advances to the gold medal game against Czech Republic tomorrow. Watch the action live on www.bratislava2011.com or www.huste.tv or on Eurosport2.

Pakistan Golden in B-Pool

2011-06-25T11:06:57+02:00

A valiant comeback by the French including a short-handed goal and one with under a minute remaining sent the B-Pool gold medal game into overtime, spoiling a brilliant effort by Usama Mahmood with 3 goals and 1 assist. However, 40 seconds into OT, with a terrific blast from inside the blue line, tournament MVP Ijaz Chaudry made all right again. This is Pakistan second B-Pool gold medal, the first came in 2007. Bermuda captured the bronze, winning over Great Britain.

Czechs check into final

2011-06-25T08:09:27+02:00

The Czech Republic scored early, with QF hero Ondrej Kejr supplying the opener at 1:28. Petr Novak bumped the lead to 2:0 on a 5-on-3 powerplay goal. From there Czech goalie Lukas Heczko stole the show with numerous brilliant saves as the Slovaks pressed until the dying seconds of the game. Much credit goes to the Czech defence as well. They did an excellent job of keeping the Slovak forwards to the outside, blocking shots, and overpowering them in the corners. The Czechs now await the winner of CAN v USA to know who will face them in the gold medal game on Sunday. Follow live on www.bratislava2011.com or www.huste.tv or Eurosport2.

Final Four Set

2011-06-24T11:54:14+02:00

The lions began to roar and set the table for the final four. Greece opened the score lifting false hopes that they could deliver another upset, but the defending world champs stormed back with five goals, led by Czechs Ondrej Kejr (2 goals) and Adam Rousal (3 assists). Meanwhile the USA followed a similar pattern for them of starting the WC's slow and building as the week goes along. The young American lions Bobby Housser (5 pts), Denny Schlegal (3 pts) and Andrew Hildreth (3 pts) were all in fine form in their 5:2 defeat of Portugal. Familiar matchups are on the table for tomorrow. The Slovaks draw the Czechs in the most heated rivalry in the sport. By all accounts this home side looks to be the best ever assembled and should be favoured to win, but the Czechs have a long history of spoiling Slovak dreams. The pressure of winning on home soil should be building now and one wonders whether a serious case of the yipes will be avoided in this ball hockey fairy tale. The same could be said for the Canadians who were shockingly upset in 2009 by the Americans in QF overtime. The same cast of US characters also tied the U20 Canadians in the final minute in 2006 and knocked the heavily favoured side out of the gold medal game, which the Americans would go on to win. Two semi-finals, two rivalries filled with upset stomachs. The B-Pool gold features one expected favourite, Pakistan, and the momentum building France 10:2 winners over Great Britain.

Slovakian Women Crowned

2011-06-24T07:22:36+02:00

Maria Herichova sent the 2,000+ fans into a frenzy with 5+ minutes remaining in the game. It was one of the few chances the Slovaks had on the night, but it found a seam in what seemed like an impenetrable Canadian defence. The show however was stolen by Slovakian goaltender Zuzana Tomcikova who faced a barrage of shots all game, making numerous spectacular saves. 1:0 was all that was needed to crown the ladies of the Slovak Republic first time champions of the ISBHF A-Pool gold medal. A-Pool bronze was claimed by the Czech Republic with a 3:2 win over USA. For more details on these stories visit www.bratislava2011.com.

Ultimately the game is paramount, but a positive environment helps build the spirit of the athletes and their appreciation of the task that lays before them in competition.
