For those of you asking about the planned summer "celebration of life" for Bruce Bettendorf, who recently passed away..... As soon as we get information we will update everyone. USBA President, Pat Cunningham, attended the funeral and passed along all our sympathies and best wishes to Bruce's family.
Bruce...we miss you !!!!!!
WHAT IS BROOMBALL ??? Broomball is played indoors on an ice hockey rink or outdoors on frozen ponds or lakes with rules very similar to Ice Hockey. Players wear special padded sponge rubber shoes, use a ball which is sized somewhere between a soccer ball and slow pitch softball, and use specially designed manufactured brooms which are made of wood or aluminum. The goal like hockey is to put the ball in the opposing net, a net which is larger than a hockey net but much smaller than an outdoor soccer goal. WHO CAN PLAY ??? Leagues are located all over the United States (and throughout the world as well) and players ages range from grammar school age to well over 70...and in Eugene, Oregon...Holly Hill who is in his early 70's still plays a mean game as a goaltender.
