It is with heavy hearts that we share the unfortunate news of the passing of our friend & brother, Wayne Neigel, on Sunday, November 27th, 2022.
A special thank you to Alberta Sport Connection for their continued support of
the Alberta Broomball Association and the game of broomball.
The Alberta Broomball Association in a non-profit organization whose main goal is to promote and grow the game of broomball across the province of Alberta.
As an official governing body through Canadian Broomball Federation, the ABA holds several officially sanctioned tournaments throughout the season, cultivating with the yearly Provincial Championships in March at the Sylvan Lake Sports Complex.
The association's two biggest leagues are located in Edmonton and Calgary, even though you can find broomball in many small cities and communities across Alberta. Players have been known to travel hours to find a competitive game because they love the sport and the friendships they built from playing.
Broomball is a game that is played from generation to generation. Kids grow up watching their parents play, then enroll in youth programs to learn the skills necessary to climb the ladder to the men's, women's, or mixed leagues.
The Alberta Broomball Association wants to provide players and coaches with the proper instruction and equipment to enjoy our great game. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Wayne has contributed to the sport in countless ways, and he will be deeply missed.
