Broomball

 

 broomball

Broomball is officially making its way to the Brazos Valley as one of the premiere and upcoming recreational activities and the only place to play within 100 miles is the Arctic Wolf Ice Center.

Broomball originated in Canada and has moved to the United States in which it has taken over the excess ice time in many rinks from Iowa to California. Many colleges offer it as an intramural sport in which there are as many as one hundred teams of different skill levels.

Broomball is a sport similar to Ice Hockey. Broomball is played on an ice rink in sneakers instead of skates. The game consists of 7 players from each team, on the ice (Goal tender, 3 defenders, 3 forwards) with up to 14 players on the bench as reserves. The object is to (hopefully) score more goals than the opposition. A small ball about 5 inches in diameter is propelled about the rink with a paddle shaped stick (broom). The game consists of two twenty minute periods.
