I literally arrived in Copenhagen for the first time over the weekend, and as a Canadian had no idea about handball. Randomly walked into a local bar while this was going on and it was intense. Tillykke Danish bros!

As a Dane I'll have to pretend I didn't read this, for the sake of my sanity.

like I said, definitely not regulation, but you gotta realize public schools in Canada have a shoestring budget and you gotta make do with what you have.

We played Handball for a couple weeks in PE in Michigan. Hockey nets and i believe our teacher had a couple of legit handballs. It was a lot of fun

Canadian context: dodgeball is way more known and commonly played than handball is here. Most Canadians have no idea handball is even a thing in Europe.
