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.

Best player:
Being one of the very few players with experience of the team, Edwin Ooi was easily one of the better performer. In front of a near non-existence defences, the goalie was arguably one of the two busier players in the league(the other beeing Minden's goalie) Time and again, he was called upon and performed unconventional-football-like style acrobatic saves.

Any decent goalie would have shake their heads, but it matter not, as long as the objective of keeping the ball out is acheive, who cares. In fact, Edwin, often beeming with confidence and drive, constantly barking at his defender, and doing his best to get the job done earn him a few votes as a contender for the All Star.


Borak says:
Dalat Eagles did pretty well considering that majority of their players are new to the game. And they even pulled off a surprised victory by beating a more experience Minden UniHawks with a convincing 5 goal margin, keeping their Division 1 hopes alive.

It was a pity they were unable to field their strongest side in Div 1 this year as it clashes with Dalat's summer break, but if the trend of the floorball schedule continues, do not be surprised to see a completely different line up in Division 1 next season. Their unpredictably might not work twice.
