The rules for broomball are not that dissimilar to that other rink sport, hockey. The following are just a sample of some of the rules.

The main difference between hockey and broomball is the "off-side" rule. The ball must cross the red line before the player, or the play will be considered off-side.

Broomball is full body contact with the exception of our co-ed league. As well, our junior program involves limited checking.

Players on the ice consist of three forwards, two defense and one goalie. Face-offs occur in the circles on the ice, similar to hockey.

The game is split into two periods of "stop time" of 15 minutes each.

Overtime is sudden-death; first goal wins.
