What
Is Broomball?
The
sport of broomball originated in Canada in the early
1900's. Since then, that crude form of the sport has
grown into a popular sport on all levels. Men's women's
and coed teams participate both competitively and recreationally.
Broomball
is played on an ice hockey rink with rules and strategies
similar to those of hockey. Players wear padded sponge-rubber
shoes, to enhance traction on the slippery surface,
and strike a ball the size of a small soccer ball with
specially designed brooms made of corn-straw dipped
in rubber or solid molded rubber, trying to score into
a net which is guarded by a goal-tender.
Lots
of Fun!
Recreational
broomball teams are easily formed since a skill such
as skating is not required to participate, and initial
equipment costs are relatively low compared to those
of other sports. Also, due to decreased mobility on
the ice surface, men and women are able to play on a
more equal basis with the ice being a great equalizer,
thus making the sport more enjoyable for all.
