Brooms and Ball, but No Wizards
By Dave Caldwell
"Mr. Gonzalez...signed up for Broomball because he grew up playing street hockey in Brooklyn and thought the program would be a fun way to meet people."
"The NYC Social Sports Club puts a heavy emphasis on the word “social” in its name..." |
|
|
|
"...'co-ed sports leagues with post-game parties.' That means levels of competition ranging from 'well, a little bit' to 'not at all'..." |
|
"What the hell is Broomball? Well, its sort of like hockey mixed with some soccer, sprinkled with a little lacrosse." |

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." |

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

がら、結構なスピードで走り、豪快に転ぶ人も。カナダの大学 " |
