As you may or may not know, there has been a temporary booking discrepancy at the rink, and we are having to readjust our bookings temporarily.
We have decided that it is best that we take a 2-week break so that the executive can address this and be ready to have Broomball games for its members.
We will have a Men’s and Women’s competition starting on May 18th from 6.45pm – 8.15pm.
We will have a Women’s game each week, and the Men’s will have 3 teams with a team having a Bye each week and competing for the Zamboni Cup.
These games will also give us an opportunity to train new referees. Please let me or Alan Jabs know if you would like to have a go.
If you would like to play, please let me know ASAP so that we can organise teams. Cost will be per player, no greater than $20 per game, but to be confirmed once we have numbers.

Hi All,
As most of you have seen, indoor sporting venues have been forced to close. From today under government direction we find all ice rinks shut.
This means all Broomball is suspended immediately. We will resume once the IceArenA can open it's doors again, and we will keep you informed.
In regards to fees, the committee will discuss with regards to the payments of the last 3 games of Mens and Womens that have been cancelled, and let members know once we have an outcome.
Please stay safe, be smart, practice social distancing, isolate and be clean. But ensure you stay connected, and do not be alone during this time. Everyone is only a message or call away. Happy to have a cider through face time!
Thank you for your continued support of Broomball in SA, and we will see each other out on the ice soon!
Please reach out if you have any questions.

Local Broomball is still going ahead, but we will be following Health SA updates and keep members informed. No one will be able to borrow the loan gear unless they bring wipes to clean it before and after use.
We are also implementing the following:
Local level Broomball
Broomball Australia recommends all members (players, team staff, spectators) of broomball associations and leagues implement (at a minimum) the below set of actions for upcoming training sessions and matches:

- Mouth-guards should be washed after each game, followed by cleaning of hands.
- Continue to cover nose and mouth with tissue or flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing.
- Keep 1.5m distance from anyone that is coughing or sneezing.
- Use alcohol-based hand wash where available
- All players and officials should wash their hands with soap and water and dry with paper towel prior to and after games.
- Gloves should be worn when attending to players with injuries – especially against blood exposure but also to prevent contact with mouth-guards.
- Keep your kit together to stop cross contamination with garments and other pieces of protective gear (ie don’t share gloves, jerseys, elbow or knee guards and in particular helmets.
Any member with flu-like symptoms should self-exclude from playing, training and spectating at the first sign of the symptoms and seek medical advice.

To all,
Broomball is back for 2020.
The mixed season is fast coming to and end and with the 2020 Broomball Australia Nationals in April the mixed season will give way to the Men's and Women's competition up till the Nationals. Mixed will return there after through the rest of the year.
Teams and Captains note your game times and team duty responsibilities to ensure you are ready to play at the posted time and have referees and scorebox persons ready to take charge of the game.
Note that there is supposed to be a maximum of three persons only in the score box so kindly respect this rink policy.
We also have the 2020 IFBA World Broomball Championships in early November, so the chance to play broomball at the highest levels available is certainly on the cards this year.
If you have an interest in attending either let the comittee know soon so you can be included in any information that is distributed.

8:15pm -8:40pm(ish) the Women will take one end of the ice for drills etc and the men can take the other half of the ice, I suggest maybe practice 1 on 1s with Steve in goals.
8:40pm-9:00pm the Women finish with a scratchie against what ever guys are happy to stick around for a last little run. We'll try fit in 2x10min halves for the girls.
As usual if you can bring a red, light and dark jersey, cyas there!

It is often said and monitored that the rink policy is to have no more than three in the score box at any one time.
That it is nice and warm in there and at times a great place to chat with friends is not what the score box is all about.
Certainly broomball is a social sport and that is encouraged but with all the expensive equipment that is also there the policy was developed to limit persons but still have access to manage the score board.
Therefore we ask that with each team duty that the maximum is limited to just the three or we may find ourselves without access to the room.
(note referees are allowed to enter above and beyond the limit)

15-Jan-19
The 2019 Summer Broomball season is set to kick off from 7:15pm next Tuesday 22nd January. The schedule is now available on the website - please check your teams game & duty times.
Remember the BASA no pay - no play policy is being enforced this season - make sure you have registered to your team via the members portal AND paid all your outstanding fees or made arrangements with the treasurer.
There are again 7 teams entered so there will be 3 games per week and teams will have byes.
The season is two rotations, with a large break between rotations to allow for some rink upgrades that are scheduled to occur and Men's/Women's Competition + Training in the lead up to the 2019 Australian Championships. Details to follow.
Remember to sign up to the BASA Sharks team online if you would like to go to Nationals this year. You will need your BASA login for this. More info on the event can be found here.
Good luck to all teams and players this season!
See you on the ice!

It's that time of the season again - Finals Time!
Mixed Finals
The Camels are again this season's Mixed A Grade Minor Premiers, having not lost a game all season. Who will Stop the Camels? The B grade minor premiers are the Foreign Invaders. Well done to both teams! Can they carry this form into the Finals? We will begin to find out next Tuesday (4th Dec) from 7:15pm as the Mixed competition finals series kicks off from 7:15pm @ the IceArenA! Check the schedule to see what time you play!
Some notes for the finals series:
- Alan Jabs will ref all games in the first round along side a ref supplied by the listed duty team.
- Scorebox duties is as per the duty team - please ensure you provide people from your team to fill these duties or contact the RIC if there are any issues.
- Games are 20 min halves with one minute at half time. Each team gets one time out available. (one minute from the time you call it).
- A draw at full time sees 3 plus a goalie for five mins sudden death.
- If still a draw then a shoot out consisting of three persons.
- If still a draw the shoot out continues through the team roster.
- 'Highest finishing team in the minor rounds' gets to choose if they shoot first or second and if they want to start with a male or female first. Players alternate gender based on that decision. (both teams follow the decision)
- ** If a game is finished before the allotted time (doesn't take the full hour allotted) then after discussion with both captains to ensure all team members are present we may commence the next game early, so have you players ready to go before the posted time. (if we are running late then please complete a basic warm up off ice so we can get started and not run too late - a short on ice warm up will still be allowed, but be ready to go)
Good luck to all Mixed teams competing in the finals! Commiserations to the Wolverines, who unfortunately miss out this season and get that big 'ol spoon thingo to stir the pot with and mix up a winning formula for next season!
Men's Contact Grand Final
The Men's contact Grand Final was fiercely contested on Tuesday night, with "Those Guys" facing off against "The Foreign Legion". Those guys gained an early ascendancy and controlled much of the game, but due to the solid defence of the Foreign Legion, were unable to find the back of the net with the game seemingly destined for overtime. That was until a piercing shot from Mark Crowther broke down the defences in the second half. Late in the second period, the Foreign Legion managed to score a great goal from a breakaway through Kyle Matthews, levelling it up. Those guys pounded the opposition defence as the Foreign Legion suffered a late penalty, but were unable to take advantage of it as the final hooter sounded. This put the game into a four on four overtime period, with the Foreign Legion down to three due to the penalty. The three Legionaries defended gallantly until an unfortunate mix up between the goal keeper and defence of the Foreign Legion saw Brad Mackintosh swoop in and steal the decider from under the goal keepers nose. A disappointing end to what what a thrilling battle of the top two Men's sides. One can't but feel it is a little unfair for a team that couldn't be bothered to pick a team name to take out the crown, but their on ice performances throughout the season silenced these notions making them deserved winners.
A great effort by all three teams this season and hopefully all involved enjoyed the experience and skills gained through this format and will be keen for another Men's Contact competition in the near future.
Women's Competition
The Women's competition has been completed for this season, with only two teams there is no need for a Grand Final to decide the winner. The Champions this season are the Snow Maidens - Well done to the Maidens! Also well done to all the Beavers who battled hard against them all season. We hope all involved enjoyed the competition and gained valuable experience that can be taken into next year's National Championships where we are hoping to have multiple Women's teams. We are also hopeful that you will be keen for another Women's competition in the future as we want to grow this area of our sport and encourage more female participation.
Good luck to all in the Mixed Finals!

We are finally at the end of the minor rounds for the Summer season!
Congratulations to the Camels who are once again the A grade minor premiers! Congratulations also to The Hammer, who are the B grade minor premiers.
Thanks for your patience with all the ice rink maintenance that has happened and interrupted our season. As a result the next 3 weeks will consist of the final series and then straight into Nationals training.
The Finals format will be the same as last season with the Top 4 teams in A-Grade and Bottom 4 into B-grade. The first round of finals is as follows:
B grade:
- 7th v 8th (B grade Elimination Final)
- 5th v 6th (B grade Qualifying Final - winner goes straight to the B grade grand final)
A grade:
- 1st v 2nd (A grade Qualifying Final - winner goes straight to the A grade grand final)
- 3rd v 4th (A grade Elimination Final)
Overtime will consist of one 5 minute period, golden goal with 4 players per side (including goal tender). You must maintain the gender requirements during this period.
If it is still tied at the end of the 5 minute period we move to a shootout. Shootouts will be 3 people from each team alternating genders. Then if it is still tied you continue shooting from the remainder of your roster continuing the alternating genders until a result is obtained.
The schedule is now available on the website. Good luck to all teams in the finals!

BASA members, due to ice maintenance there will be no Broomball games next week, 13th March. This maintenance includes a total defrost where they will repair many pipes underneath and repaint the lines. This could potentially be a 2-week process, but they are hoping for only 1, so please keep an ear out regarding when we resume.
We are looking at hosting the first of the referee course, hosted by Alan, during our usual time slot. If you are interested please contact the basa secretary by email. This is a good chance to start the process of becoming a BASA accredited referee.
There is a potential that we can hold some fast-four games on half of the large ice between 7.15-9.15. This would be at a cost of $20 each, and would need definite numbers by Friday 9th March so that it can be booked. This will only be booked if we have 15 people.

The Winter 2017 Mixed season has been run and won, with the Camels taking out the A Grade Grand Final, for the 13th season in a row (wow!), with victory over the Legion of Broom in a close, hard fought game.
The Winner of the Bob McElhinney Medal for Best on Ice was Maureen Busuttil - Congratulations!
The B Grade Grand Final was a very close affair, with a battle between the Arctic Assassins and the Beers that went into overtime. With the sides all tied up at the end of overtime, the game was forced into a shootout of epic proportions. Both sides struggled to score in the pressure cooker situation, but the The Arctic Assassins finally emerged victorious with a sudden death goal scored by Casper Fertier.
Congratulations to our Champions the Camels and Arctic Assassins, and well done to all teams for a fantastic season. A special thanks to all teams for managing to get all players registered before finals! Let's aim to get everyone registered before the start of the next season.
A big thanks also to all those that refereed and sat in the time box this season - the games wouldn't happen without you!

A reminder that the 2017 Winter Mixed Competition begins tomorrow night (Tuesday 2/5) at 7:15pm. Please check the schedule to see what time your team plays and when your team duty is.
This season there are a few changes in place:
- All players must register and pay their season fees before they take to the ice to ensure they are covered by insurance. Fees are $50 for the season ($10 new players). The registration process contains payment details. Registration is via the BASA members portal: https://basa.org.au/members
- Referee & scorebox duties have changed: Each team will now only be required to supply one referee and one score box person per game as duties will be shared.
- Game 1 teams have duty for Game 2;
- Game 2 teams have duty for Game 1;
- Game 3 teams have duty for Game 4;
- Game 4 teams have duty for Game 3;
This means teams will have duties each week but only need half the amount of people. Teams are able to work it out between themselves if they need help.
- Some minor changes have been made to the BASA By-Laws, including the introduction of a permit system for finals.
Note that we will be introducing 2 of each gender on the ice at all times from next season Summer 2017/18, so start recruiting now!

New Sunday Broomball Competition
Since the closure of the Noarlunga ice rink the Noarlunga players have been looking to establish a Sunday afternoon Broomball session at the Ice Arena at Thebarton. If you haven't played at Noarlunga before, essentially it is a mixed non-contact competition, the teams are made up on the night (dependant on numbers), the games are self-refereed and the format is very similar to the fast four competition which we all enjoyed playing earlier in the year while the large ice was being repaired.
BASA have now successfully secured a 4:15pm -6:15pm time slot on Sunday afternoons and are happy to announce that the Broomball Sunday sessions will be kicking off this Sunday 21st August.
It is a great format of the game for new players to try the sport for the first time, to spend more time on the ice and improve their skills in a fast moving game. For the more experienced players it’s a great opportunity to practice and hone the skills, especially in the lead up to events like the National and World Championships. If you liked the fast four competition you will love this! Once we know that this will be supported by all members we will formalise a structured competition, after Worlds.
Cost is likely to be $10 - $15 depending on numbers.
We'll look at any specific rule requirements and restrictions over the coming weeks for playability and safety and review along the journey as necessary.
BASA encourages all to attend this Sunday @ 4:15pm @ the IceArena.

2016 Broomball Nationals Update
The 2016 Broomball Nationals have been moved and rescheduled due to the unfortunate situation at the Adelaide ice rink. The following is the official announcement from Broomball Australia.
To all,
We have today announced that the 2016 Broomball Australia Nationals will be held at the Erina rink, Central Coast, NSW over the June Long Weekend. (Jun 10 - 13).
Knowing that the time is short I urge all to contact their respective local committees immediately if you are planning to attend so teams can be organised and you can fix travel and accommodation.
It has been unfortunate that we were not able to hold the event in Adelaide this year but as we are all well aware with no ice we have no broomball.
Over the last few weeks Saxon, Bryce and myself have been looking at alternate dates and locations and to Saxon and Bryce I offer my thanks for the huge efforts in getting this up and running. Now we need everyone to support this as if it was in Adelaide so it can be the success it deserves to be.
I know we shall get your support and I look forward to seeing all of you in Gosford over the June long weekend.
As I do not have everybody's email address please feel free to forward this on to those I have missed as well as posting on Facebook and website accounts to get the message out there to all...
Kind regards,
Alan Jabs
President
Broomball Australia
Please spread the word and contact a committee member if you are interested in attending Nationals.

Broomball Update and Scratch Matches Tonight!
Broomball Night
Tonight (Tuesday 15th March) starting at 8.15PM we have the opportunity to run a night of Broomball on the small ice, we have booked the ice for 2 hours and ask for those that want to play to bring a few different coloured tops. We will run the games with 4 per team + goal keeper. Time of games will depend on how many turn up. We would think that the team you are in would play at least twice on the night. The main reason for this is to see how a Broomball competition could work on the small ice.
Ice Rink
Two working groups have been formed as of last Tuesday night, one group is looking at opportunities to secure funding to get the large ice running again, the second group is looking at options for a temporary rink. We have another meeting with the SAISF on Tuesday night and will be updated on the two groups progress and we hope to have some positive news to share.
Broomball Summer Season
The committee have met and have discussed many options regarding the current summer season. The committee have decided that the summer season has been completed as of the last game that we played. There was only 1 more Tuesday night of games to go before finals started.
With no possibility playing a finals series the final ladder positions as they are will represent the end of the season standings.
The committee feel that this is the best result given the circumstances we find ourselves in. We understand that it is not ideal and that some member’s may not agree but we consider this our best option.
Broomball Presentation Night
We are aiming to hold a presentation night on the 22nd of March at the Wheatsheaf Hotel where we will present all trophies and enjoy pizza and drinks. Please note that this is to be confirmed.
Could I ask that all captains please do a team write up including your team MVP. Nat Olsen is putting together a great newsletter and we want ALL TEAMS to have a write up in the newsletter.
Broomball Competition
Starting on the 29th of March we will be starting a Broomball competition on the small ice. Fast Five Broomball will have modified rules due to the small ice and we will be running this competition until we can get back onto the large ice. Rules and a schedule will be sent out after this Tuesday night once we have assessed Tuesday nights games. The committee would hope that all existing teams take part in the Fast Five Broomball competition and we also would like to encourage new players to come out as this format may be better suited for the new inexperienced player. If your team feels that they can field 2 teams in this comp please do so. Registration will open soon.
The situation we find ourselves in has never been experienced before and therefore we do not have any history to look back on. The committee would like to highlight that it is important that we all continue to play and promote Broomball. I do know that we will get back to a full ice competition eventually and we do not want to loose any members during this period, We need to come back bigger and better.
The committee would also like to thank those that have expressed their support for the committee in these challenging time, it is a welcome change.
If you have any questions related to any of this news, please contact the committee.

BROOMBALL CANCELLED DUE TO ICE RINK PROBLEMS AND CLOSURE
Hi Broomballers,
Some sad news unfortunately. We have received communication from the rink regarding the large ice and the repairs that are taking place.
The repairs to the leaking pipes have been completed. Two pressure tests have occurred and both have failed! It is clear from these tests that there are more leaks under the main ice but their location, number and size cannot be determined. The significant age of the pipe system and the fact that the pipes are imbedded in concrete means that further attempts to find and fix leaks are not feasible.
This has massive implications for us!
- the pipes under the main ice surface are now deemed unfixable
- The Department of the Environment will not permit any refrigerant gas to be introduced into the main ice pipe system.
- We are therefore not able to create ice on the main surface.
The only way forward is to install a new refrigeration system for the main ice, so sadly we have to inform you that there will be no main ice for at least two months and possibly longer.
This impacts on all sports as well as the Broomball nationals.
We have contacted the other state broomball associations and they understand the situation. We have taken the step to put nationals on hold at this stage. We will be working with the other associations to try and resolve the issues associated with this postponement.
Our president will be meeting with the SAISF board early next week to discuss our options regarding the local league and Nationals. The committee will then meet directly after to discuss, and we will consult with teams via the team captains.
At this stage Broomball has been postponed indefinitely.
The committee will have a hectic couple of weeks and we ask for your support and confidence that we will be working hard to ensure that Broomball will be as strong as it is now when it returns.
The committee is aware of all the implications associated with this and we will be looking to continue playing in some form so we ask for your patience while we work through this. We will organise a presentation night and advise the timing shortly.
If you require any clarification on this matter please contact the committee via email.

BROOMBALL POSTPONED AGAIN THIS WEEK
Hi Broomballers,
we have been advised that the large ice will be closed for another week. The repairs are going well but unfortunately they have discovered some further leaking pipes that need repair.
While undertaking this work, staff at the rink are taking the opportunity to repair some of the boards and repaint the rink.
At this stage they are looking to open the ice on Monday the 7th March. We will confirm this closer to the date.
We will push the season back a further week.
Please spread the word to all broomballers. We will keep you posted.

BROOMBALL CANCELLED THIS WEEK
Hello all, as you know the ice surface has not been great of late. This is a result of broken pipes under the ice surface.
Over the last few weeks the SAISF and the owner of the centre have been negotiating the repair of the pipes and the replacement of lost gas.
This has now been resolved and the repairs will be carried out immediately. This will mean that the rink will be closed for approx. 1 week and therefore Broomball for Tuesday 23rd Feb has been cancelled.
We will simply push the season back 1 week. We will advise if there are further delays.
Please spread the word to all broomballers. We will keep you posted.

BASA Winter Season Premiers 2015
The Grand Finals were fiercely contested last week.
In the B Grade we had the Assassins facing off with the Hammer. In a tough match neither team could find the back of the net. The game went to overtime ending in the same scoreline. It came down to a penalty shootout, with the Hammer managing to take out the B Grade Prize. Well done to the Hammer.
The A Grade saw the Invaders take on reigning premiers the Camels. In a fierce match, the Camels again proved too strong, finding the net on several occassions to score a convincing win and retain the A Grade Champions title. Congratulations Camels! Congratulations also to Johan Einarson for winning the Bob Mac medal for best on ice.
So with anothers season run and won, we take a ahort break before the Summer 2015/2016 Season commences on 27th October.
Compolsory Team and Player registrations will be open soon - more info to follow soon.
There may be a scratch match/training next week (20/10), so stay tuned.

We have received complaints against Broomball from the rink on two fronts:
Firstly, when putting the Goals away, please be PARTICULARLY careful to NOT slide the goals over any cable or hose lying on the ground. They May Be electrically LIVE! (Yes they should protected, covered or whatever, but there are no guarantees). This was done a couple of weeks ago (using our goals), and bared the wires, fortunately there were no injuries, but it could have been more serious. Be aware!
Secondly, please ensure that if you HAVE to change in the common area, that you do so in an appropriate manner. Basically any exposure of underwear is verboten. Use the change rooms if you have to strip down. This applies to both male and female players. Any nudity may see you expelled from the rink. You should all be aware by now of this policy and the fact that there are often young children present. We as a club risk being banned or forced to ALL utilise the change rooms if this policy is not adhered to. Just be sensible about it.>

Without directing this at any one player or team. You are ALL reminded that, we DO have a code of conduct at Broomball. Sledging, abuse, abuse of officials, deliberate attempts to injure or intimidation is not to be tolerated. We are (alas) an amateur sport, where all Officials, committee members and players perform their duties, not because they have to or are paid to, but simply because they love our sport. To abuse officials for performing their designated duty is just stupid, and degrading, not only to the player, the official, but to the sport as well. Sledging or abuse during matches is not a right or a priviledge, its demeaning and can border on slander. Would you want that said to you? As for intimidation or deliberate attempts to injure, REALLY! Need I say more! Lets clean it up. The player next to you is a friend, so lets keep it Friendly!>
