Alrighty,

For those who don't know what broom ball is. Think of it like hockey.

Now:
1) Take away the ice skates, just use your shoes.
2) Take away the hockey sticks, well, keep them, but remove that L Shape deely and have a paddle on it about the size of a fist.
3) Take away the puck and use a super-mini dodgeball, about the size of the center of our Nissan OEM Steering wheel.
4) And wallah, you have broom ball!

If ppl where interested, I would use the rink i've been going to. It's in Ontario. Like a 20 minute drive from Irvine/Hb/Costa Mesa/Mission Viejo. 60 mins to 75 mins would be best, but they charge by hour I believe. The more people who come, the less we pay. If anything, 10$ to 20$ a person. It's 160$ to rent for an hour.

It would most likely be late night. 12am until 2am, unless if people want to do it at another time. Late night just saves us from traffic rage. Blue team vs Red (bottom of the sticks are color coordinated) and we can attempt to ram each other unless if you fall before you get to them.

If we stick with the Ontario rink, there are a couple of fast food joints and a Denny's next to the freeway that we can all hit up.

Toll Road vs Freeway:

Toll road - you deal with driving through farms. Cow poo poo gas ftl, but low chance of 5-0 for those who care and nice banks if ya wanna speed. Gotta pay a toll -.-

Freeway - Hmm. I think just slightly longer, but easier to follow and I guess higher chance of 5-0 if anybody is worried.

As for the area, it seems safe enough. You are in lighted parking and you can always peek out the glass door to see if everything is peachy. Been going there off and on for about 2 months and it seems safe. I'm taking my car up there later today for Broom Ball with friends.

Anyways!
Lmk! :hug:

No clue where Ice Palace is at, too lazy to check lol. And at least on the way to Ontario, you can have a fun convoy or a run.

Ontario isn't that far light at night. With my gf driving it takes 20-30 minutes tollroad or a highway.

Yeah Gameworks in the Irvine Spectrum turned into a Fox Sports Grill, I work at the Spectrum.

Anyways, anybody else interested in this? It's also a great way to freely tackle somebody. :D

I'm still interested in getting at least one game going. I'm going to a broomball game on the 25th of May. 10pm til 12am I think.

Maybe I'll ask the Irvine crew.
