The sport was played on icy surfaces about the size of today's hockey rinks, surfaces such as lakes, ponds and rivers. The exact origin of the sport has been difficult to pin point. It has been documented by Barrie, Ontario that locals used Lake Simcoe as a place for fun competition of the sport. However, the First Nations peoples in the area are believed to have passed the sport on to the settlers. The Canadian Broomball Federation was founded in 1976. During the 1975 "national broomball tournament" in Montreal, Quebec it was decided that the sport needed a governing body. The members of the Alberta Broomball Association met with representatives of other Canadian provinces and formed what is today the Canadian Broomball Federation. In the 1980s, the CBF developed the National Coaching Certification Program to focus on the youth in the sport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Broomball Federation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
