Humboldt Broncos Bus Crash

Yesterday a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos (SK) junior A hockey team to a playoff game crashed with a semi. 15 young men are now dead with several still listed in critical condition. Canada mourns with broken hearts. All of us have variously been on one of those team busses, had family and friends who were and know someone who was. Hockey is our national game and something like this hurts my heart. Words fail me at a time like this.

Thanks for your kind words PB.

It is probably impossible for any other country to understand how this tragedy has hit Canadians. Thousands of our kids start to play hockey almost as soon as they can walk and stay upright on skates. The "hockey bus" figures largely in every Canadians life. Our kids, grandkids, nieces/nephews, neighbours kids, friends, spend time on that hockey bus - travelling down cold, snowy highways and byways to that next game. So something like this hits every Canadian right in the heart and we mourn. It could so easily have been our kids.

One young man who lost his life had signed his donar card and his organs are giving hope and life to six individuals. Another lad, with a broken back has vowed to skate again and if that doesn't happen he aims to make the Paralympic Sledge Hockey Team. Courage and guts in such a young man.
