This past Monday my Broomball team (Ice Cold Blue Balls) played for the World Championship against perennial broomball power Cullens in what turned out to be an epic defensive struggle. We fell short, losing 1-0 but we put up a valiant fight. Most of the media picked us to be out knocked out in first game due the serious of illness and injuries that have ravaged our team during the season. Despite all the naysayers we managed to win our first playoff game 1-0 against Hooker’s N Blow behind our stellar defense and my shoes. After less than a minute break between games we headed to the Championship against Cullens who had at least 3 complete lines and a Junior Varsity at their disposal. We played solid but in the end we just came up short.

There’s always next year.

*Side Note:

Broomball Shootout.

If you ever wondered what happens when a Broomball game is tied after a 5 minute overtime the answer would be a shootout. Truly a sight to see. The photographs below are between the Slippin’ Sliders and Off On The Ice. Off On The Ice ended up winning the shootout after 6 shooters.
