To its passionate players, and
every player is passionate it seems,
the winters in mid-western Ontario
are for playing broomball. Huron
County has scores of local teams
which play the sport at both junior
and senior age levels.
Teams can enter provincial,
national and world tournaments as
well. Teams require confidence,
enthusiasm and the entry fee to do
so.
Last spring a squad from this area,
Parr Line Ladies, registered for the
father, Bernard Rollemon of
Stratford.
The community was also saddened
to learn of the passing of Wes
Hoggart, father of Gordon and Laura
Hoggart on Saturday, Nov. 25.
World Championship. The tourna
ment was held in Victoria, B.C., Oct.
30 to Nov. 5. Wishing to enter the
tourney with a full roster, they
picked up some players from other
area teams.
Sharon Bergsma and Marianne
Millian of Londesboro, helped the
Parr Line Ladies win a bronze
medal. A Quebec team won gold and
a team from Montreal captured sil
ver. Well done, ladies.
Men’s, women’s and co-ed teams
from Switzerland, Australia, Japan
and all across the United States and
Canada were in competition. Sharon
says the high calibre of play made it
a great spectator event as well.
Her teammates helped Marianne
celebrate her birthday while in
Victoria. Not to be outdone, it seems,
friends at home helped her celebrate
again last weekend. Thirty pink
flamingos must have been heading
to warmer climes before the snow
arrived.
