HUMBOLDT, Sask.—The air inside the Humboldt Broncos’ home arena feels heavy, grief as suffocatingly thick as the silence blanketing the usually raucous stands. A bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos hockey team to a game was hit Friday by a truck transporting peat moss. The tractor-trailer would have had to yield to a stop sign before crossing over the highway that the hockey bus was travelling on. “It’s too early to comment on the cause of the collision.” Humboldt, like so many smaller communities in Canada, is a hockey town. A Humboldt Broncos jersey is part of a memorial to players killed and injured in Friday's crash.
