About Us

What is Borak-Borak Floorball?

Borak-Borak Floorball (BBF) was initiated by a group of three avid floorballers from Penang, Malaysia. The interest sparked off due to a certain passion for the sport and a keen desire to share that passion to others. With that, came the idea of 'borak-borak'.

What does the term "Borak-Borak" actually mean?

"Borak-borak" is a Malaysian lingo that equates to the English word "chit-chat". The phrase is commonly used and has somewhat the power to identify one's identity as a Malaysian. BBF is passionate to 'chit-chat' about the happenings and events of floorball, first in Penang and then the other parts of Malaysia. With that in mind, Borak-Borak Floorball came into existence.

Who are we?


BBF comprises mainly of three suspects under the pseudonyms of Jose, Bendy and Spritzer. However, BBF has also taken in hired-for-free reporters in their effort to cover as many grounds as possible.

NOTE: BBF is not an official website to any organization or governing body. We are merely a group of passionate floorballers who seek to share this passion to others. We strive to be courteous, neutral and honest in our opinions, thoughts, reviews and analyses.

Our vision?

BBF sought to 'talk big' and 'talk much' about floorball. We hope to represent the floorball community in Penang as well as the nation, Malaysia, in the bigger picture. We want to be a voice for floorball in the present and future generation, a voice to be heard not for recognition but for the ultimate growth and development of floorball in Malaysia.

Team Preview: Dalat Falcons

Dalat Falcons (Dalat Floorball)

Last Season: N/A. First timer.

Last year Dalat won Div 2, so they got promoted to Div 1 this season. This year they are planning to send in two teams. Common sense assumption will tell you that this team will be full of new and young fellas from Dalat right? Wrong!!! Don't be fooled, this is the exact same team (Dalat Eagles) that won Div 2 last year. Why are they doing this? Don't ask us, we don't have the slightest idea.

The reigning Div 2 champions still stuck in Div 2? What the crap! Bad news for all la. Made up of old and young from Dalat International School, they are big, they are strong, and they are tough. If the norm stays, the older guys will play as defenders, (rock solid) and the young guns will cover the court as forwards.

No team in Div 2 can match their brute force, and therefore are hot hot hot favourites to defend thier crown with reasonable ease. The only possible weakness is the clumsiness and relatively slow defense where pacey forwards can take advantage of, if they managed to squeze themselves through in the first place!

Key Player:
Drew Steiert. Fast, strong and tireless. Thats what you get when you have a triathlone champion as your team's forward. Last year's Div 2 Point Leader should be unstoppable again, most probably will top the point chart by a mile. It is just a pity we don't get to see him compete at a higher level in Div 1.

Rising Rookie:
N/A. Not that we can think of. All old timers la, just that you don't see them often in the Floorball scene.

Prediction:
Bendy:
1st. 99% confirm. No horse run!! Even last year's full force Ztec with the likes of Ter Min, Jo-wyee & co. crumbled into defeats in both legs. This year? None is even half the strength of Ztec. They should breeze through all games at ease, with two eyes closed!!

Jose:
Champions again! This team should be able to win this division without even having to go full force. The only threat I see that might prevent them from winning a back to back title would be Ztec Phoenix. However, I sincerely hope that they won't do a "17-0" again as it defeats the purpose of having a Division 2 for the newer teams to contest in.

  1. it would be great to have them in Div 1, but it'll be equally interesting to have them there at Div2, just so that new teams can feel the real intensity of the game. would love to see that never ending runs and unexpected shots that Drew makes. every team should also watch out for Riley aka Harry Potter if he is still playing. both of them really have lots of potential to create headaches and problems for defenders..
