This year’s Alumni-Student Broomball Invitational tournament during Winter Carnival brought a record 16 teams to campus. More than 140 Michigan Tech alumni and friends gathered for the weekend.

Congratulations to the tournament champions, alumni team Pirate Sheep! They have won the tournament two years in a row. A recording of the championship game live stream and photos from the tournament can be found on the IRHC Broomball Facebook page.

For Britta Anderson ’15, the alumni broomball tournament brings alumni together to take part in a Michigan Tech tradition and “relive their glory days.”

“I could just as easily opt to not participate and save myself the aching muscles and bruises the size of a broomball spotting my body,” she says. “But I wear them as badges of honor. It’s an insanely crazy, fun adrenaline rush infused with the true spirit of what it means to be a Husky. Broomball is a unique bond we all share and it keeps us coming back every year, if only for bragging rights and the opportunity to show of your hard earned bruises.”

Save the date for next year’s tournament February 9-10, 2018!
