Broomball League Starting Up At Parade Plaza Rink

New London Main Street organizing group to play hockey-like game this winter

New London Main Street is looking for interested adults to join a broomball league starting up at the Rink at Parade Plaza.

The sport is similar to ice hockey, but players wear shoes instead of skates and use a ball instead of a puck. Players also use a broom-shaped stick and the sport is no-contact.

The league will play games every Tuesday evening from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., starting on Jan. 15. The league will play for seven weeks, including two weeks of playoff games. Teams may include up to 10 players.
