Winter is coming, like it or not. Don’t hate winter, use it. Come out and play C<\/strong><\/a>apitol Broomball’s recreational league<\/strong><\/a>. The 2023-2024 winter season starts November 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join DC’s Broomball league<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday nights, Captiol Broomball aka District Broomball plays rec league games at Tucker Road Ice Rink, minutes from the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. It’s a collegial co-ed league that goes back to 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broomball is similar to ice hockey, but in special shoes, balls and \u201cbrooms\u201d instead of skates, pucks and sticks. The league provides equipment, though most returning players get their own helmet, shoes and stick. Currently, our age range is from early 20s to early 60s, so don\u2019t feel like your time may have passed. The sprinting gets you in better shape by the third game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s really fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I joined the league in 2018, though I had played broomball intermittently since college. It’s friendly competition that welcomes newcomers. I tend to play right wing and have scored a goal in almost every season since 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I can do that<\/em>, so can you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
