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.

2. Loh Jo-Wyee - 13 points (10+3)
3. Oliver Cedric - 12 points (11-1)


Best player:
To name Ter Min as the Best Player for Ztec 8cers isn't something unexpected. Topping the point chart with 22 points certainly speaks volume. However, it was the consistency of his performance that stands him out amidst the crowded team of star players.

Jeremy came close with a shout but Ter Min got the final nod due to his all round display. Offence or defence, the lad is deadly all over the court. Not only does he have a keen eye on goal, his much improved vision allows him to release his team mates into goal scoring opportunities, making him even harder to contain.


Borak says:
The Champions of PFL '09! Who don't expect them to grab that Gold medal? Even from the beginning, most teams trembled when they hear the name Ztec. With players that they have, it is obviously a threat to all teams who are aiming for the jackpot.

They came in strong crushing their opponents without mercy except for the Mighty Spartans who managed the grab a point and almost a win. Winning the first game against team Contact ('08 Champions) which such a margin has definitely boost their confidence and team spirit which carries through the end of the league.

With their solid team play and technique superiority, they entertained all present with exciting play ups and creative free hits which sometimes makes their opponents look silly. Its hard to play against a team who moves the ball so smoothly and accurately.

However, with the amount of quality and talent they have at disposal, there are times they lack the spark and creativity to open up stubborn defences. This happens especially when they are too eager to attack, the forwards tend to wander too far high and lack mobility rendering the defenders no options to pass to. At the same time, it leaves a huge gap in the centre leading to dangerous counter-attacks by the opponent.

Overall, they were the most entertaining, most threatening, most unwelcome-by-goalies and most consistent throughout the league, and deserving crowned Champions of Penang Floorball League Division 1 2009.
