The 14th Men’s World Floorball Championships will be played in Zurich & Winterthur, Switzerland from 5th – 13th November 2022. Australia, Denmark, Philippines and Poland play in Group D!

Australia

Describe your team, and what should we expect from your team during WFC 2022?

A good mixture of experience and youth. Half the team is younger than 22 years of age. Team Australia is targeting a top two finish in the group stages. Don’t be surprised if we break into the top 10 for the first time this tournament!

Players to watch

Who is your strongest defender and why?

Photo of Raymond StaindlRaymond Staindl – Gives you everything you want in a defender. Hates to be beaten and never gives up and is a constant menace to any opposition who comes into his goal area.

 

 

Who is your toughest player and why?

Photo of Staindl GavinGavin Staindl – Would have to be our toughest player. His game day routine requires a 2 hour session with the physio followed by a 2 hour warm up just to keep up with the young guns – that’s how tough he is!

 

 

Who is your face-off champion?

Photo of Gartner DanielDaniel Gartner – (the shorter of the two twins) would be our face-off champion. Under pressure he relies on that Australian swagger and Czech flair!

 

 

 

Denmark

Describe your team, and what should we expect from your team during WFC 2022?

The real striking power of the team will be a surprise for everyone, as the full team has not been together yet! The team is a combination of older experienced players and also new young players. The defence will be in place with strong goaltending, the rest will remain to be seen…

Poland

Describe your team, and what should we expect from your team during WFC 2022?

Our team, although it is full of young debutants, is ready to repeat the success from U19 Championships in Brno and be amongst the TOP 8 teams. Young blood mixed with experienced players will give us everything we need to achieve victory – commitment, assiduity, skill and physicality.

Photo of Kacper Skura

Kacper Skura – Young player, but already with great international experience. His precise sweeper shot, powerful slapshot and speed are going to be tough to defend.

 

 

Who is your strongest defender and why?

Photo of Michal SienkoMichal Sienko – Michał is not only a fast and tough to come through defender, but also a useful player in offense. His game vision and awesome technique are as important as his defensive values.

 

 

Who is your toughest player and why?

Photo of Mateusz TurwonMateusz Turwon – If you meet him face to face on the field, it’s better to give up before contact. His great physicality and steadfast character are going to mess a lot. A face-off with him will be one of your worst memories. Great reflex and physical strength makes him our face-off champion also.
