No skates.  Play on the ice with your shoes!
Broomball is great group entertainment and individual exercise that's played on the ice with rules and strategies similar to hockey. Team players strike a ball the size of a small soccer ball with specially designed brooms and try to score goals into a net guarded by a goal-tender. The brooms are made of corn-straw dipped in rubber or solid molded rubber, and are perfect for 'sweeping your team to victory'. Broomball originated in Canada in the early 1900's and has grown into a popular sport on all levels with youth, men, women and coed teams playing competitively and recreationally.
