Fourteen were also injured, some critically, in a collision that left the country, its national sport, and the hockey-obsessed town of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, reeling. Assistant coach Mark Cross, bus driver Glen Doerksen, and stats keeper Brody Hinz, who was 18, were also killed. As is the case with small town hockey across Canada, he said, the arena is not just a recreation facility, but a focus of community life with the hockey team at its center. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki said it was too early to state a cause for the crash. Police said a lot of issues remained to be investigated in the bus crash, including weather conditions at the time and any mechanical issues with the vehicles.
