Olympic Handball Ireland Pays Tribute to Ewan Hunter

It is with profound sadness that Olympic Handball Ireland learned of the passing of Ewan Hunter, CEO of the Scottish Handball Association and a true servant of our sport.

Throughout his career, Ewan dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the growth and development of handball, not only in Scotland but across Britain and Europe. His passion for the sport, his commitment to its future, and his ability to bring people together made him a highly respected leader and advocate for handball.

Ewan was a valued friend to Olympic Handball Ireland. He always made time for conversations, shared ideas openly, and approached every challenge with professionalism, patience, and genuine warmth. His calm nature and thoughtful approach often brought clarity to difficult situations, while his sense of humour and wonderful company made every meeting, event, or international gathering more enjoyable.

Those who had the privilege of spending time with Ewan will remember not only his knowledge and leadership but also his kindness and humility. He understood that sport is ultimately about people and relationships, and he invested deeply in both.

The handball community is a close one, and Ewan's contribution to our sport has touched many lives across numerous countries. His legacy will continue through the players, coaches, volunteers, administrators, and organisations he supported throughout his career.
