Broomball’s Popularity is Sweeping

The New York Daily News recently featured the sport of Broomball by profiling a league in Brooklyn. The Broomball league in the article is organized by our friends at The New York City Social Sports Club.

For those not in the know, Broomball is played on ice with padded sneakers and sticks that are reminiscent of brooms. The sport gained popularity through college intramural leagues in the Northeast and Midwest. Naturally, those who loved to play in college want to extend their Broomball career! The NYCSSC league has expanded to over 200 participants in only a few years.

Check out these photos from the article to get a better look at what Broomball is all about. If you like those also visit the NYCSSC Flickr page for even more photos.
