by Ashley Allison

"Be sure you don't take yourself too seriously...instead, get ready to have a good time."

"You play it on the ice, but you don't need skates.  You use a broom, but you're not cleaning."

Broomball is Sweeping Brooklyn

by Ethan Sacks 

"The coed league...grew from 20 stragglers in its first year to 200-plus zealots - including me - this season."

"A variation of hockey minus the skates, with funky foam-bottomed sneakers for traction that make bowling shoes look stylish."

Broomball Fever is Sweeping New York City
by Roger Clark

"Broomball was invented in Canada in the early 1900's.  Originally they used actual brooms, but now they have lacrosse sticks and molded tops. The ball is kind of like a small soccer ball"

"Players say it's a great way to meet people, get some exercise, and play a league sport where the people don't take things too seriously."
