2. History
Recent research indicates that a sport similar to broomball, known as knattleikr, was played in Iceland in the 10th century.
The sport was almost considered warfare, with the occasional death not uncommon, and games could involve whole villages and lasted up to 14 days
Broomball as we know it was first played in Canada in the early 1900's by street car workers using a small soccer ball and corn brooms.
The sport evolved and was brought down to the United States. The first games were reportedly played in Minnesota, the birthplace of USA Broomball, beginning in the 1930's.
