It's not from over indulg- ing the night before or because I'm working too bard It's this game called brooanbalL A person watchingthe game for the first time might find it a touch boring. There is no fancy slick handling, no great rushes and very few fights But get on the ice, and it is far from boring. For those who are not familiar with the game, it is played on ice with a broom, a ball and shoes which help; but don't prevent you from sliding. A player wears elbow pads, knee pads and shin pads. Most of the teams wear the broomball pants which have pad- ding in the seat and upper legs, adding an extra 10 pounds to your appearance. The object of the game? Simply out score your opponent. However, it's not always as easy as it may seem. When playing hockey, which is what brooinball is most similar to, it is easy to change directions. In broomhall, it is quite another story. I find the easiest way to stop is to run into another player, hopefully on the opposite team. This solution isn't always the ideal way to solve the problem. When I hit a player, I usually end up on the ice, and realize I would have been better off just sliding until I stopped. Now sliding is also an art that must be mastered. Once you start running and dive at the ball, you always end up sliding for a long time. I can manage to get on my hands and knees while still sliding, but I can't seem to stop myself or find my feet_ So far it don't sound hie a person should be hurting after a game, right? Bin let me tell you, if a person swings their broom, misses the hall and hits you instead, you feel If you get bounced off the boards, you feel it. If you hit the side of the net with your shoulder, you feel it And if it's a two -on -one break and you fall for no reason, you feel it in another way. Frustration seems to be my biggest pro- blem My opponent makes a move one way so I start moving in that direction. Once you move quickly in one direction you have com- mitted yourself, so the opposition more or less walks right by. Another problem I have is deflecting the ball in front of my own net. Last year I ac- tually scored on my own goalie. This year I made the same stupid mistake, bin our goalie managed to save it. Despite all my complaining, there are a lot of benefits to the game. Those who like to run would certainly get their fill I think there's more exercise in broomball then there is in hockey because you're running all the time. In hockey you can glide awhile and cover more ice. I'm certainly tired out after a game anyhow. There aren't many team sports for females to participate in during the winter months, so the Blyth Broomhall League helps those of us who have a need to exercise year round Marriage scores three but Mustangs lose two garages GODERICH - The Clinton Junior "C" Mustangs dropped two games over the weekend.
