Take hockey and remove the cheering crowd, the ice skates, and the division one athletes. Insert sneakers, sweatpants, and screaming college kids with very little coordination. Lose the puck and replace it with a small orange soccer ball. Instead of three, twenty-minute periods, there are two, eighteen-minute halves. Five people on the ice per team. One sixty second halftime and no timeouts.

This is broomball.
