Yukon Broomball Welcomes New Players!
Our league is non-contact and coed.
Here are some facts about our league:
- Regular season games are Sunday afternoon, Monday evening and Wednesday evenings. Games are three, 15-minute periods and are refereed.
- Regular season and playoffs - early December to late March @ YBA arena (outdoors & covered) in Takhini subdivision on Normandy Road behind the elementary school.
- There is a temperature cut-off at which we do not play - this is -25 Celsius or colder 1 hour prior to your scheduled game time.
- We offer a "3 for $30" trial membership. If you like it after playing 3 games in close succession, you can join us the rest of the season by paying the 'top-up' season fee.
