Added to this we learn about Haven's experiences at the 2019 Pan Am Games and why that was such a groundbreaking tournament for Canada, just what is needed in the sport for it to continue to grow in the country and the intense rivalry between Team Canada and Team USA in women's handball and why it was good to see them finish in fourth at the Pan Am Games in Peru.
