On Friday, April 6, the Humboldt Broncos team bus collided with a semi, just outside Tisdale, resulting in a gruesome accident – one of the worst in Canadian sports – which killed 14 of the 29 travelling on the bus.

Later on, two more team members succumbed to their critical injuries, including trainer Dayna Brons.

“The tragic event on April 6 left everyone stopped in their tracks in total shock that we have lost so many wonderful men/women,” said Principal Zenovia Lazaruik of C.W. Sears.
