Don't forget to check out our website http://broomball.mtu.edu In the early 1990’s, Broomball captivated the interest of a small pack of Huskies and eventually took Michigan Tech by storm. Once a small student organization, Broomball has grown to become one of the largest, with around 2,000 students participating. Broomball is played on three outdoor ice rinks in front of Douglass Houghton Hall. T
here are currently six leagues that hold a total of 220 teams: 4 on-campus leagues (DHH, McNair, East Wads, and West Wads), a women’s league, and an off campus league. Even on the bitter cold nights in Houghton, large and loud crowds gather around the rinks to watch or play their favorite game. Six players from each team step out onto the ice, but not in skates: players wear tennis shoes. A softball-sized rubber (D-Gel) Broomball ball is the projectile of choice, and is controlled by the players own duct-taped brooms. Your Broomball Committee is the year-round staff that works to keep the organization running smoothly and effectively. They are responsible for organizing the season, in addition to advertising, merchandise, employment, and putting on additional events and tournaments throughout the year. Their office is located in Wadsworth Hall G24W. In addition to the committee, Broomball has approximately 90 seasonal positions available for referees, rink staff, and Cocoa Shack staff.
