Do you miss the frozen ponds, rivers, streams, etc.? Are you thinking, if only I could have taken advantage of the recreational opportunities on ice<\/em>? If so, I have good news for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s time for District Broomball<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The spring season begins Tuesday, March 18, the penultimate full day of winter, at Tucker Road Ice Rink. Once a week, our four team league<\/a><\/strong> hosts two games in succession, just minutes from the Wilson Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The league is 18 and over with men and women welcome. It\u2019s a social league, so it’s competitive but historically free of redasses. Everybody wants to win though we\u2019re here for a good time more than anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been playing in the league since 2018, though I was introduced to the sport in REDACTED<\/mark><\/strong> at Penn State. Since I found the league, I\u2019ve played about a dozen seasons. One season, I averaged a goal a game – if I can do that<\/em>, so can you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is broomball?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do you like ice hockey? Then you\u2019ll like broomball. It\u2019s the same basic rules, tactics and strategy, but in special shoes instead of skates. The stick is a \u201cbroom\u201d and the puck is a ball about the size of a grapefruit. The league makes all those available to first time players. Helmets too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look forward to Tuesday by registering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
