It was Vyborg (a former Finnish city now part of Russia) that pioneered the game and played internationally as early as 1899. They had great skaters. Helsinki tried the sport around the same time as Vyborg, but it took almost a decade before it really caught on. Helsinki hosted an international winter sports competition that featured bandy in 1907. The tournament also featured teams from Sweden and St. Petersburg. The Finnish Football Federation, which also governed bandy in the country, was established in May.

  • It was Vyborg (a former Finnish city now part of Russia) that pioneered the game and played internationally as early as 1899. They had great skaters. Helsinki tried the sport around the same time as Vyborg, but it took almost a decade before it really caught on. Helsinki hosted an international winter sports competition that featured bandy in 1907. The tournament also featured teams from Sweden and St. Petersburg. The Finnish Football Federation, which also governed bandy in the country, was established in May. The first national bandy championship in Finland was organized by the football federation and staged in the winter of 1908. It was staged as a knockout competition until 1931, when the SM-sarja was created as the national bandy league. Viipurin Sudet (Vyborg Wolves) won the championship 12 times between 1914 and 1930. The SM-sarja competition in ice hockey was first contested in 1928, but as in other Nordic countries, the sport of bandy remained popular even after hockey also became an established sport.
