Historically, the championships have been dominated by the North Americans teams. There are some companies that manufacture shoes made specifically for broomball – scroll down to see our list of the best broomball shoes. Many broomball leagues offer helmets for their players. You really shouldn’t be taking the ice without one, given how easy it is to slip and fall.

If you thought Kinect was dead, then you really need to think again. Granted, the technology in itself may have been pulled by Microsoft – at least for now – but with the likes of the Virtual Air Guitar Company continuing to create and push products for those who already have the peripheral, then there is most certainly no reason to remove it from play entirely. Should you be one of those who are looking for a fun game that is a little different from the norm, have Kinect to hand and are wanting to get your butt up off the sofa and ensure you get a sweat on, then Boom Ball 3 for Kinect does the job intended. The level of competition varies across North America. Games played by beginners obviously feature a lot more players tumbling and slipping and sliding on the ice. Higher-level league games with experienced players are fun to watch because they reveal a certain skill level and discernible strategy decisions. There aren’t many games on the Switch that I can think of that make full use of the console’s motion controls. The touch-screen is another underutilised feature, rarely used for anything more than selecting options. That’s why it was a pleasant surprise to learn that Boom Ball: Boost Edition utilises both these things extensively.

Scoring

Broomball games are controlled by two referees who are on the ice during the game and have the same powers to award goals, call penalties and fouls etc. In higher-level games, there are often other officials off the rink too, such as goal judges and a timekeeper.
