Championship Broomball

Tools of the trade -
First of all, if you want to play this game you have to be able to run on ice. You've got to have suction cup shoes in order to have any chance of getting anywhere quickly without falling on you butt. Note from experience, you'll be falling on your butt plenty even with these shoes! A nice side benefit is that these shoes give you the excitement of an extra bounce to every step when not on ice!

A flying Bumwad makes his shot

Real Bumwads January 2002

Our best athletes finally win a city tournament!
 We don't remember many details (what year, name of award, etc.) of the great feat. However, here are a few things to ponder. Of the 11 member team, only four were "Real" Bumwads. When the brooms lost their bristles and became clubs, many sensible Wads dropped out to allow room for "ringers." We needed seven ringers or "unreal" Wads to ensure that we would finally win at least one tournament in our lifetime. Congratulations to all of us, even the bench warmers that sat out so that we could have better players represent us!
