Multiple fatalities after truck collides with Canadian junior hockey team bus – Twin Cities

A crash between a transport truck and a bus carrying a junior hockey team in Western Canada left multiple people dead and others seriously injured, Canadian police said late Friday.
The bus was carrying the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League to the town of Nipawin for a playoff game. It collided with a transport truck.
“There have been multiple fatalities — our whole community is in shock,” said Kevin Garinger, president of the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have not released how many people died or were injured in the crash. Garinger said parents from across Western Canada are rushing to the scene as they struggle to cope with the tragedy.
“It’s a horrible accident, my God,” said Darren Opp, president of the Nipawin Hawks hockey team. “It’s very, very bad.”
Opp said a semi T-boned the players’ bus, adding that the coaching staff and players from the Hawks are waiting to help.
“They are sitting in the church just waiting to hear any good news,” he said. “There’s uncles and moms and dads waiting to hear whether their sons and nephews are OK.”
Pastor Jordan Gadsby at the Apostolic Church in Nipawin said more than a hundred people gathered at the church. “Some of them are waiting to hear if their kids are alive.”
Gadsby said they know there are multiple fatalities, but they haven’t heard how many.

I say a prayer for strength and courage for the community of Humboldt. I pray for the parents, family, and friends of the young men who did not survive. I pray that they rest in peace, young men who chased their dream of a championship at a level of hockey where you play more for shear love of the game than anything else. I pray that the young men who survived have the courage to continue to live their lives with a fullness and purpose. Find a balance between living and honoring your sweet children and dear friends and honoring their legacy. Hold on to the memories that you do have and have the strength to move forward little by little and day by day. I think it would break my soul if something like this happened to the sweet child of mine in my life. It would take a lot of prayer. I pray for them with my whole heart and soul, today and in the difficult days and weeks ahead.
