Broomball
A Brief Overview:

Broomball is a game that can be traced as far back as the turn of the century starting in Canada, and has grown from being viewed strictly as a recreational sport to a highly competitive game offering Provincial and National Championships.

Broomball is a winter team sport played on ice. Similar to hockey, with six players on the ice per team, players try to score goals on the opposing team by directing the ball into the net with their brooms.

While players originally used corn brooms dipped in rubber, present day brooms are molded rubber. Players use special broomball shoes to run on the ice surface.

The newest design in shoes provides excellent traction which necessary to make the quick stops, starts and changes in direction the game demands.

The goaltender can use a catching glove and a blocker as well as a chest protector and shin pads but cannot wear hockey type goalie leg pads.

Compared to other winter team sports the equipment required for broomball is relatitively inexpensive.
