What sport do you wish you could play now? I loved broomball as a kid. You raise that broom

way over your head, run as fast as you can on the ice and smack the ball towards the net. Lots of body checking but you have your coat on as padding. Check. Crisp cold weather. Check. Lots of slipping and sliding. Check. Being part of a team. Check. Rosy cheeks. Check.
