Broomball is an on-ice game similar to hockey, but with a few fun and unique twists. Like hockey, the object is to score more goals than the opposition. However, instead of the usual hockey equipment broomball players are dressed in street clothes and sneakers, armed with broomsticks with the objective of hitting a 5-inch rubber ball into the goal rather than a puck. Anyone can play broomball. Players do not need to be able skate.
