Broomball, at least as we play it, is a poor mans version of hockey.

Instead of a conventional hockey stick, you find a broom, cut off the brissles the best you can and wrap the bottom half of the broom with duct tape. Instead of a puck you use either a soccor or volleyball. Instead of ice skates, you play in an old pair of sneakers that can give you traction on ice yet allow you to slide some.

The game is played a lot like hockey. Each period begins with a face off at center ice, and you use the brooms to move the ball up and down the ice and put the in the other teams goal. Goal Tenders try to stop the ball from entering the net. When the other team has the ball you can try to take it away. You can chack them and shove them into the boards. You get one point each time the ball go in the other team's net. WE play it on local outdoor hockey rinks that are set up all over the place here this time of year.

That is the basic of the game, or at least how we play play it. I find it fun.

Hey Big Brother Brady,

Thanks for explaining about what and hos Broomball played!

This sounds like a really COOL GAME to play.

Do you think it would be safe for us to play, and not break any of our body parts to get our basketball coach mad at us, and so our dad's don't get mad as well IF that happened would want to paddle four butts for maybe breaking an ankle, arm, etc.?

What really works best, soccer ball or volleyball?

Got any ideas where we might get/find four broomsticks? Hate to "borrow" four from each of our Mom's and then return them and they find the broom ends cut-off. That wouldn't go over well, and the thing that Mom's would want to go overall would be our butts over each of our dad's laps for misconfiguration (you didn't know we knew a big word did you) of our Mom's brooms.

Is it wise to wear a helmet? We could wear our skateboard helmets for protection.

On an average, how many goal points do YOU score, Brady?

Thanks for sharing about the Broomball Game!

Do you play this every week? How come we haven't heard about this game before? Only colleges play it?

Let the game begin!
