I did realise that it (my handball) wasn't very popular outside of europe, so I was suprised that you knew of it.
It's really cool though. A lot of contact and really fast. I'm a goalkeeper which is the coolest position of them all there's just something special about getting a 100 km/t hard pumped leather ball smashed into your face.
Hockey looks really cool. I would definitely do it if I could keep my balance on skates for more than 10 seconds.
Edit: and before handball practice yesterday Denmark beat Germany in handball. That was awesome. Even though I was the only one on the team who thought so.
