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.

EuroFloorball Cup 2009: Men's

The player of the final, was without doubt Santtu Manner, who scored all of the SSV goals, the last one being the golden 6-5 goal after 07.17 of the over time.

After four EFC silvers and three EFC bronze medals, SSV´s could finally celebrate their first EFC victory.

Erä had more ball control in the start of the game, but Santtu Manner took SSV to the lead with a really sharp shot on power play. Jani Kukkola evened the score in 12.25 and then it was Erä´s turn to utilize the power play when Lauri Kapanen´s accurate shot found the net. After this Erä took charge of the game and by moving the ball in SSV´s defensive zone they could score one more goal, 3-1 lead for Erä after the first period.

The second period continued in the same manner, Erä possessed the ball and decided the tempo of the game whereas SSV played quite passively. Pasi Laitila increased the Erä lead to 4-1 after which the tempo dropped when Erä was not in a hurry. Then Manner stepped up for SSV and he scored two goals for his team, the second on power play, and took SSV back into the game.

Jani Helenius took Erä to a two goal lead again in the third period, but with less than 10 minutes left of the game SSV started to play more aggressively and particularly SSV´s first line could create good scoring chances.

Especially Manner and Mikael Järvi were unstoppable today. It seemed as if each time this couple got the ball, the ball was soon in the opponent´s net. Manner scored six goals and Järvi gave the assist to four of them.

In Salibandyliiga´s interview Manner is modest about his performance:
- Quite a good day today, but it also required good passes. I missed a break through in the start of the match and came late to the situations, and for a moment I thought that this was not my day.

Manner and Kapanen were elected as best players in the final.
