What is Broomball?
|
|
Broomball has been played in Canada since the early 1900's. The sport has come along way since the days of using straw brooms. Broomball is a sport that is played on ice just like hockey. Aside from some of the rules that is all the two games have in common. Broomball is played with shoes that are specifically designed for running on ice and a metal or wooden broom is used instead of a stick. Broomball players run on ice they do not skate or glide therefore players can get quite the aerobic workout.
