[Ritchie Valens]

My hometown has a SJHL team, same division as these two teams. No word on injuries or worse at this time.




Thoughts and prayers to all involved...so horrific and so sad.

Brings back memories of the bus crash several years ago that killed four including Lindy Ruff’s brother. I hope this one has a happier ending.

I'm trying to find the tweet, but air ambulances were dispatched out. It's not sounding good.

I was about 8 years old when the Swift Current Broncos team bus crashed. Joe Sakic was on that bus if I remember right. Oddly enough, both teams from Saskatchewan and both named the Broncos.

My nephew lives in Nipawin. He just called...it's not good. I wont post anything until there's confirmation.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Casualties confirmed.

Horrible tragedy hoping for the best.

Just seen the picture, it’s much worse than I imagined.

Thoughts go out to the victims families.

Terrible news. Thoughts and prayers for all those involved.

Struck by a semi. Damn.

Such an unfairly true song.

Thoughts and prayers to all involved with the team and to the emergency personnel as well. This is going to be a tough one.
ETA: As a junior hockey billet family, this is heartbreaking and devastating news.

They often times get forgotten in times like these. These poor people have to do their jobs in spite of the chaos of such accidents and will have to live with this the rest of their lives.

I couldn't imagine. It's not something I have the makeup to do. I'm glad there are people that do though.
I can't believe this has happened. Shocking and terrible.

Oh no

This puts so much into perspective. Life can be far too fragile!

The numbers I’m hearing keep going up..

Last I heard was 18. Devastating.

That's almost the whole team, if the number is correct. So sad and tragic. As a long time junior hockey billet family, it's my greatest fear when the guys head out on the road, especially in bad weather. Even in good weather tragedies can happen.

Heaven gained far too many angels tonight.

How are you getting your information? Do you know someone involved? I’m at a loss for words, that number is horrifying to think about. I know people were saying it was bad but I wasn’t prepared to see that.

I’m from Humboldt, and this is absolutely devastating. Situations like this are always tragic, but this was a particularly special group of kids, very involved in the community; including attending my sons novice teams wind up. Very sad news, still praying for the absolute best for all involved.

I live close to the accident and have family/friends that would be first responders.

Hope the number is smaller... but whatever it ends up being is going to be shocking.
