Scrapbook Format and Official Guidelines BROOMBALL - Reports to 2nd VPBroomball is similar to hockey: played on ice with a special "broom" and ball. Anyone can play. Any questions on practice or any other team matter visit the Phan Table on the concourse at home games. Team leaders for the Phantoms Phan Club Broomball Team are:
Home of the 2006 AHL Booster Club Champions Broomball is game played like hockey, but we a few differences. First, you do not have to know how to skate, you run on the ice with special shoes. Second, you do not use a hockey stick you use a broom, it is a stick in the shape of a paddle. Third, instead of a puck you use a ball about 6 inches in diameter and finally broomball goals are 5' by 7'. We are a coed adult team (18 or older) and we play the game with a no check format. All new players are welcomed to come and try this fun game at one of our practices. You do not have to be a super star to play. All you need to play is basic hockey equipment. We will teach you how to play. We will lend you a broom at you first practice and if you like it and want to join the team we can instruct you how to get your shoes and other equipment. Our home rink is the Ice Works in Aston, Pa. It is located in Delaware County. For directions check out their web page. We practice once a month from January until the tournament and occasionally travel to scrimmage against other booster club teams. We are the 2004 American Hockey League Booster Club Association Broomball Champions. We won the cup at this year's tournament which the Hershey Bears Booster Club hosted. We play in a tournament every year, usually during the summer months. This year's tournament will be hosted by the Syracuse Crunch Booster Club on June 26th.
