Hard to miss, impossible to forget: Teammates & friends to mark the too-short life & inspiring legacy of Stoga ‘22 rugby star Erik ‘Big E’ Elken. A tournament at USC & fundraiser in Wayne are days away.

March 16, 2026 by Caroline O'Halloran 1 Comment

When doctors told Erik “Big E” Elken that the hip pain he couldn’t shake wasn’t another rugby injury – it was a rare and highly aggressive Stage 4 sarcoma, he waited two days to tell his coach.

The University of South Carolina Gamecocks were playing that weekend and the ever-thoughtful Scholastic All-American didn’t want to be a distraction.

Big E broke the news to Coach Roberts on Sunday: He had an 8-pound tumor ­– the size of a newborn – on his femur and he was flying home to Berwyn for treatment.

In 2020, flush with success, Handel’s went mobile, peddling its prized homemade scoops in a retro-cool ice cream truck to community gatherings in Berwyn and beyond.

This year, an even bigger step: an expansion to Delco.
