Jerome Santerre WPH Rapid Fire Challenge

WPH Press

Starting in 2020, the WPH has allowed handball fans to get to know their favorite players, fans, and supporters through the WPH Rapid Fire Challenge. The WPH Rapid Fire Challenge peels the onion of our handball heroes, from their toughest rivals and matches to their favorite athletes and movies. Some have said the WPH Rapid Fire Challenge is even tougher than an 11-10 tiebreaker!

On today’s WPH Rapid Fire Challenge, the WPH puts Canada’s Jerome Santerre on the hot seat.

Jerome Santerre is one of the happiest handball players you’ll encounter, always arriving at tournaments with a huge smile, even after 12-hour drives from Quebec, Canada. Jerome plays the great Danny Bell weekly, who he considers to be his mentor and handball hero. Jerome has traveled to a number of WPH events, including the WPH RFC and R48 San Francisco – no one enjoys handball events more than Jerome.

How let’s see how Jerome enjoys the WPH Rapid Fire Challenge!
