— A former junior hockey player’s journey of healing has come to an end after he walked 1,200 kilometres from northern Ontario to Saskatchewan to honour the victims of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash. Rance Cardinal, who is 24, walked and sometimes ran into Humboldt on Sunday to the cheers and numerous hugs from hundreds of people after a trek that began April 11. Dressed in a Broncos sweater and carrying a Saskatchewan flag on a hockey stick, Cardinal made his way to the Elgar Peterson Arena for a meet-and-greet ceremony. I’d like to pass that strength on to the people of Humboldt.”Cardinal plans to spend about three days in Humboldt before driving home. The accident is still being investigated by the RCMP, who have only said the truck was in the intersection when the crash occurred.
