The game of floorball is still a limited sport in the USA. But a country with several cities that individually has more citizens than many of the IFF countries there is potential to be reached. The US team for the WFC2006 in Sweden will likely not be a contender for the B-division final, perhaps there is a risk that the USA will have to fight for their spot in the B-division as other nations develop more quickly than the big little nation in the West.
