Blog - Broomball, Fun Just like Hockey
What in tarnation is...Broomball, when I am galavanting around Brampton to cover events, on some occasions I will poses question about the game of broomball. Would you believe, no one and I mean no one knows what Broomball lor even heard of it. Broomball would you believe is very similar to our Canadian passion of hockey. Broomball is played throughout Canada and parts of the United States.
I used to play it at the school I went to in Chateauguay Quebec, as part of gym class and lunchtime intermural League. Primarily, we played outdoors or indoors if the weather was horrendously atrocious. Lots of fun.
It has governing body and would you believe, even international tournaments of which Team Canada participates.
Like hockey, it has sic players a side, and same positions. It is primarily played on an ice surface on hockey rinks. Instead of skates you wear broomball shoes or boots. instead of hockey sticks, it is replaced with a broom, and instead of a puck, you have a rubber ball. Lots of fun. I remember playing broomball in my old elementary schoo Mary Gardner in Chateauguay Que, at lucnh time and in gym class. I am sure given as opportunity, broomball could catch on here in the Golden Horseshoe
