Handball ... the other NHL.

Handball goalkeeper is should not wear masks like hokey goalies. The reason is that hockey puck can kill u if it hits u in the head due to the material its made of, on the other hand, Handball balls r very light & can not travel as fast as a hockey puck. Soccer goalies do not wear masks & the ball travels faster than a handball.

Also if someone wanted to intentionally hit someone with a handball in the face nothing much will happen maybe a bruise & a bloody nosy maybe. But if someone where to intentionally hit someone with a puck without a mask it would cause serious fatal damage & most likely death. Thank u for ur time.

yes.so no one knows they are playing handball

No. Indeed a ball shot by an intermediary or winger can come at a 200 kmph speed, but this kind of accidents in handball is very seldom, indeed l have never heard of serious goalie injuries of such kind. Usually those who throw hard are those who work hard to improve their throw and, as such, improve their accuracy as well, knowing that they should aim at the goal and not at the goalie is face. A hockey puck is far more difficult to control.

No the risk of injury is not high enough. Were not talking about a hard object like a puck or baseball.

it is simple! it was the standard regulation by the associate and if the goalkeeper is wear mask it should be better as it is for safety!

No, because they do not need it.If someone throws a ball on the goal-kepper he will not hurt him as well as with a pak. l know, l train handball.
