I've played at The Ice House Cary (Buck Jones Rd.) and at The Raleigh IcePlex (N. Raleigh Blvd).

The Ice House was more fun because the rink is smaller.

hockey but with little "broom" shapped sticks, balls instead of pucks, and you don't have skates (you are still on ice though)

usually have multiple balls going at any given time


a real fun time if you are any type of drunk


here is a picture of me after being knocked down playing it:

my dad played for years when I was a kid; I used to love to watch. I really wish they had a broomball league in Greenville, SC

ha broomball can be pretty fun but it's also pretty nasty (people running full speed on ice in tennis shoes with no pads), I remember last time I played we had some crazy falls, it was all hilarious though

Ahh, broomball. A sport for overweight Canadians that can't skate.

The actual sport of broomball is much different than what drunken frat groups play...but they are both fun.

Also, even real broomball isn't as weird as ringette:

^^ actually, the league my dad played in in Charlotte was very much the opposite of that. I don't remember what the league was like when I was really little, but towards the end of his time there (injuries and age forced him to stop playing) I was in middle school so I remember the games pretty well. A lot of the players were ex-hockey and soccer player, several at the college level and the rest (like my dad) were just generally athletic. Yea you had your share of fatties, but they usually sucked/didn't stick around long.

I've considered trying to start a league where I live since they do have a decent rink and a hockey league, but I really just want the fun and exercise without the responsibility
