One year on from the crash that claimed the life of Humboldt captain Logan Schatz, his family grapples daily with his absence, but he and his No. 20 are everywhere they look. From frank_seravalli: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door: The Logan Schatz Story:
ALLAN, Sask. — Rance Cardinal walked 1,200 rain- and snow-soaked kilometres from Sioux Lookout, Ont., to Saskatchewan last spring to deliver a handmade Humboldt Strong sign.
Humboldt opened its arms for Cardinal on May 27 at the finish line of the 48-day trek for hockey’s Terry Fox. Kelly and Bonnie Schatz drove up to Humboldt for the welcoming party. Inscribed on it was a simple phrase: “If a cardinal should appear, a loved one came to bring you cheer, a memory, a smile, and a tear.”
He is never too far from mind or sight. Every member of the Schatz family got matching “LS❤️20” tattoos on their forearm. Bonnie wears two necklaces, one with Logan’s signature on the pendant, another with his fingerprint.Logan is the first thing you see when you sit down at the Schatz’s kitchen table. Logan’s ashes rest in a wooden box – one that he actually made himself in a high school woodworking class – on top of an electric fireplace in the family living room.
He continued to be a trendsetter as a young man. He wore a blue bow-tie to his sister’s wedding in 2017, then continued to wear it to Broncos games. That photo with his bow-tie was so widely circulated in the media that many thought he owned a whole collection. There was just that one. Now, kids playing minor hockey in Allan have been spotted wearing bow-ties when they get dressed up for playoff games.Logan was the captain of nearly every team he ever played on.
