Lynn Kimbrough, 720-913-9025
Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter,
Jr. and Jefferson County District Attorney Dave Thomas have
challenged each other to an official Broomball battle, pitting
co-ed teams of victim advocates, attorneys and staff against
each other for charity.
WHEN:
Monday, December 10, 2001 at 6 p.m.
WHERE:
The Rink Downtown, 16th Street Mall at Arapahoe
Street
Ritter, who played broomball in law
school, issued the challenge to Thomas last week. Thomas
accepted without hesitation after realizing he had two
employees who played on championship broomball teams.
Broomball is similar to ice hockey
except that players wear sneakers instead of ice skates, and
use a broom instead of a hockey stick. The Downtown Denver
Partnership has arranged a series of broomball games this
month with player fees going to charity.
