NEW AT CHILLED PONDS: BROOMBALL
Broomball is great group entertainment and individual exercise that's played on the ice with strategies similar to hockey. Team players strike a ball about the size of a soccer ball with "brooms" and try to score goals into a net.
Broomball is perfect for team building and corporate events, fraternity and sorority rush events and socials, church groups, and birthday parties!
What do I Need to Play?
Protective gear such as elbow pads, knee pads, shin guards, and gloves are strongly recommended but not mandatory.
Rubber soled, non-marking athletic shoes are recommended for better traction on the ice. No spikes, cleats, heavy boots, or sandal footwear is permitted.
What are the Rules?
Game Basics: An official game consists of two 20 minute running periods. Players wear shoes instead of skates.
Teams: Each team has a goalie, three forwards, and two defensemen (same line up as hockey).
Checking: Broomball is a non-contact sport. Absolutely NO checking is allowed.
Goalies: Goalies may NOT throw or roll the ball beyond the face-off circle, but he/she can pass the ball with their broom as far as they want. Any ball that goes behind the net is the goalie’s ball.
Kicking: Kicking the ball is not allowed, except from a player’s foot to his/her own broom. This includes the goalie.
