Aberdeen Oilers Floorball

Aberdeen Oilers

Early in 2007, a group of enthusiastic young people set up a new sports club in Aberdeen. The sport is called floorball, an indoor variant of hockey, which can be described as a modern form of the more commonly known sport of unihoc. Fuelled by the enthusiasm of two students from the floorball nation of Switzerland and two ex-Dundee floorball players, the club was formed in record time.

Advertise For Free

Aberdeenshire has a wealth to offer, both to tourists and locals alike. Ardgrain aims to promote the very best of Aberdeenshire and the North East of Scotland to a worldwide audience, without charge.

Why don't we charge for adverts in the Aberdeenshire Guide? What is the catch?

There isn't a catch. Our Aberdeenshire Guide adverts are 100% free. Ardgrain is a local website which aims to promote Aberdeenshire to a wider audience and to provide a local focal point for information. We don't want to charge you for this.

(Nor do we want to build a huge but meaningless list of local businesses by harvesting information from the web without permission. We could do, but we'd just end up with a directory the same as 99% of those already out there. Our Aberdeenshire Guide aims to offer a little bit more, because each and every business has chosen to be included.)
