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: Firebrands

Firebrands (Firebrands Floorball Club)

Last Season: N/A. First timer.

Formed weeks before Youthwave Triple Challenge 2008, this less than a year old Floorball club is soaring at new heights in 2009. Officially registered to the big family of PFA and participating in this years PFL, rating 5/5 for courage and passion!

Players are relatively unknown other than Tania Loke and Bryan Koh, who has both represented Frontliners Trojans in PFL 08. They will be leading the debutant through the baptism of fire.

It will also be interesting to see their coach, Jason Chan (yes, the same one as Frontliners 300) handling 2 teams in the same division at the same time.

Key Player:
We don’t think anybody will shine as they are all relatively new, but from the way they play their keeper - Bryan Koh, may play an important role in their goal scoring. This is because this team is equipped with one or two strong and athletic but not so skillful forwards. Therefore, we foresee goals might come from the keeper's throw out.

Rising Rookie:
With throws like we mentioned above, you will need strong, fast forwards to receive and finish off the move. James Tan from this team seems to fit the bill perfectly. Muscular and well built, he should be able to power through most of the defenses in D2. However, finishing might be a problem for him.

Predictions:
Bendy:
5th. They should have a go against ZGF, guys vs guys. However the Girffins, being the more well trained team should have a slight edge over 300 with their physical advantage. Unless they screw up somewhere, I don't see them rock bottom.

Jose:
This is a tough one to predict. Finally after thinking through, I'm predicting this team to finish 5th. They should be satisfied if they don't finish at the foot of the table, since it is their first year playing in the Penang League.
