Broomball Sat Dec 29th

[Lezgo Cycling]

So after we all seemed to have so much fun yesterday....I would like to do it again. Say saturay morning 10:30 ? whos in and who can help convince others. If you think you wanna come play, great. You dont need anyhting but a broomball stick and many people have extras. You dont need the shoes and all that jazz, just ask a couple who were there this weekend. It makes it more interesting.

So come on out to the first of hopefully many more weekly, MORC member brromball games...

Post up people, and again here are the details

Sat Dec 29th

I'll still be out of town that weekend so won't make it to this one.

A broomball stick if you have one and probabaly a water bottle

[BrightYellow]

I might be able to make that - I'll let you know as it gets closer.

It's way too freaking far from Red Wing so I won't be there, but I would highly recommend dusting off those old hockey shinguards. Call me a wuss, but I actually like being able to move after doing something (says the guy that wiped out horrifically about 6 times trying to get back down from the ski trails on Memorial yesterday).

[RedSquirrel]

Yeah, bring it in the city. At least into the 494/694 loop. I would be more interested. Kids would have fun running around outside too. My son would probally out spin us all (legs on ice) . If Shad's there I may mistake his head for a broomball though, being all round and all. Accident of course.

What is broomball?:confused:

[batjerk]

Wow, Saturday morning and local. If there's a broom and I get permission, I ought to be able to make this one.

What is broomball?:confused:

your kidding right ? broomball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broomball) is fun :banana:

[DmacBmac]

Where do you find the sticks for sale?

[bakkeb]

Try play it again sports, Dick's, or Sports Authority. I can't believe you had know idea what broomball is. They play it in Sconny....although they suck at it.:laugh::etard:

[Wolfchimp]

I'll definitely try to make it. Not sure what I have going on but broomball is always a good time.

[Lezgo Cycling]

Where do you find the sticks for sale?

$20 ..Dicks, Sports Authority, Play it Again, maybe even Wal Mart sometimes, but Sports Authority has the most that ive seen

Brian are you coming???

Aren't broomball sticks just hockey sticks?
Or how do you guys play?
I have a goalie stick and thats what I like to play.

What kind of shoes does one wear for these matches?

[TML]

Tennis shoes or light boots are just fine for pick-up games like this.

If you feel like spending money, here's what an actual broomball shoe looks like.

Forest Ice, D-Gel, and Acacia are a couple of brands available. They can be picked up at Play it Again, Dicks, Sports Authority and probably Hockey Giant. Cost is about 70 - 80 bucks. Not cheap, unless you're lucky enough to find a used pair at Play it again.

[Lezgo Cycling]

Play it again in Blaine had quite a few used pairs, Hockey giant DOES NOT sell broomball I looked, Sports Authority Maple Grove has the shoes in stock now
$70 Forest Ice
$65-75 Acacia
$70-80 D-Gel

HINT: The acacia are the D-gel design but cheaper....they are in a lawsuit becasue of the similiarities ....D-gel was pi$$ed off they basically used there design (Play it again has the most stock of brromball equipment that I have seen so far)

[bakkeb]

Brian are you coming???

I might. I've got a couple of sticks. You can borrow one. I played on an A league team for 5 years until I had my first back surgery. Then I quit. Running on ice isn't good for the back. If I can be a goalie I'll play. I got all of the gear.:etard:

[Wolfchimp]

So apparently this didn't happen because I was there and only one other person was. What happened to you Gus??? I was looking forward to playing. Well, have a great New Year's!

[BrightYellow]

Yeah, what the heck? It was just me and Porter... a couple people stopped by, but I don't blame them for leaving with just the two of us there...

Sorry Don and Porter. That was Shad and I who stopped by. Let's try it again when there are more people behind whom I can hide my broomball incompetence :D
