The Broomball Chronicles - Chapter One
We lost, but I drank two beers and slid on the ice and got two penalties, so it was ok...
Charlie (The guy who now lives in Dave's old room) and I joined a broomball team. We played our first game tonight, unfortunately we lost in a disappointing fashion, losing a two goal lead in the third quarter.
