This Sunday we’ll check-in with our handball friends in the Great White North, as the Canadian Handball Association announces Denis Gingras and Rob Rakochey as 2021 CHA Hall of Fame Inductees.

From Marie-Michèle Trudel 

“The Canadian Handball Association (CHA) has just announced the 2021 Hall-Of-Fame nominations. It is with great pride that we confirm the induction of Denis Gingras, from Levis, to the Hall-Of-Fame as a ”player”. Congratulations to this great athlete! Rob Rakochey from Clagary will join the HOF as a ”Builder’’.”

Denis and Rob are truly deserving, as both have been incredible assets, gentlemen, and contributors to our great game for many decades!
