DC Broomball will be starting its inaugural full-ice season October 14, 2009 at the Tucker Road Ice Rink in Ft. Washington, MD.

If you're unfamiliar with broomball, it's a sport played on ice with rules similar to hockey, only with a different stick and a ball instead of a puck. Also, players run on the ice instead of skating on the ice. It's an amazing workout and really good time (and yes, you fall on your ass a lot). It's especially great for hockey fans who love to play but can't skate.

If anyone's interested in playing, there's additional info and a registration form here: http://www.chasekickballs.com/dc-broomball/

Also, we have a Facebook group called "DC Broomball" (http://www.facebook.com/group.php... ) that has news, info and a list of upcoming pickup games where people can kick the tires on this new and exciting sport!
