On Wednesday, Ryan told reporters what he remembered from the crash — images he’s still working through as he tries to concentrate on getting better and going through rehabilitation. The Humboldt Broncos player from Airdrie, Alta., was paralyzed from the chest down when a truck and the bus carrying his junior hockey team collided in northeastern Saskatchewan on April 6. CALGARY — Ryan Straschnitzki hopes someday he will be able to walk again and continues to keep his teammates in his mind on his road to recovery. “I’m hoping one day I can get to the point where I can walk again,” said Ryan. “Some people said I won’t be able to, but I kind of want to prove them wrong.”Right now, he’s working on sitting up longer, which is hard.
