Please join us for a fun-filled evening of casual dining, drinks and broomball. This event was a huge hit last year, and we look forward to repeating the tradition.
We will have access to the large ice rink where you can join in the action packed game of broomball or skate on your own.

What is Broomball?
 
Broomball is a popular recreational ice game originating in Canada and played around the world. It is played in a hockey rink without skates!

In a game of broomball there are two teams. The object of the game is to score more goals than your opponent. Goals are scored by hitting the ball into your opponent's net using your broom. Tactics and plays are similar to those used in sports such as  ice hockey, roller hockey and floorball.

Players hit a small ball around the ice with a stick called a "broom." The broom may have a wooden or aluminum shaft and has a rubber-molded triangular head similar in shape to that of a regular broom. Players wear special rubber-soled shoes instead of skates.
