broomball
noun [ U ] uk/ˈbruːm.bɔːl/ us/ˈbruːm.bɑːl/
冰上扫帚球 （玩法类似冰球，但是球员在冰上不穿冰鞋不滑冰，只是着普通运动鞋跑动，球杆的一端是形若扫帚的橡皮铲，亦称为扫帚）
a game similar to ice hockey (= a game played on ice between two teams in which players try to hit a small, hard disk into the other team's goal using a curved stick), also played on ice, in which the players run rather than skate and use sticks with rubber ends similar in shape to a broom (= a brush with a long handle). These sticks are also called brooms.
In the slip-sliding game of broomball, the resounding "thwack" of brooms smacking smartly together is a celebration of a goal. 在扫帚球的滑动游戏中，扫帚巧妙地拍打在一起的响亮的“重击”是对进球的庆祝。
