It is with a heavy heart to report that St. Louis Handball legend Phil “The Irish Whip” McLaughlin has passed away. Phil was a tremendous player late into his life and could generate awesome power on the ball for a player of his age. In addition to being a great player, he was an extremely nice and pleasant person off the court as well. To our brothers in St. Louis, sorry for your loss.

Good luck to our KC Handballers competing in MO Doubles this weekend
