If you haven’t heard of broomball before, you’re missing out! It’s basically floor hockey on ice. Every player has a "broom" (it's really a stick) and you try to hit a ball into a goal.

Format

• Teams consist of six players on the ice - at least two must be female
• Six game regular season followed by playoffs
• MSSC provides brooms, balls, goalie helmets, goals, and a referee
• Download the rulebook in the grey menu bar toward the top of the page for full details on the format and rules

League Capacity

The league typically has a capacity of nine teams and generally sells out in advance of any posted registration deadlines. Some years the arena has less time available and we are capped at seven teams. Do not wait until the last minute to register if you want to play.

Dates and Location

• Games will be played on Sunday evenings at Madison Ice Arena (725 Forward Drive). We use the studio rink, which looks just like a regular hockey rink, except smaller, so it's the perfect size for broomball. We also have use of locker rooms for the games.
• The Fall season typically starts in early November. The Winter season typically starts in mid-January

Equipment

• Broomball requires more equipment than many other sports. MSSC supplies the basics mentioned above in the "Format" section. Players are encouraged to purchase additional equipment, such as broomball shoes, pads, mouth guards, and helmets from sites like Broomball.com, Midwest Broomball, or Amazon.com. These items are optional but will enhance the playing experience and help prevent injuries.
