Watch Humboldt Broncos memorial service: One year later, bus crash victims remembered, honoured
HUMBOLDT — A memorial service to mark one year since the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy will include a moment of silence at 4:50 p.m. — the exact time of the deadly crash.
The arena, which barely 48 hours after the crash last April was the site of a service, now has rows of yellow banners displayed with the names of all 29 people who were on the bus. Premier Scott Moe said he will attend Saturday’s service with his wife. A spokeswoman from the Prime Minister’s Office says a video message will be played from Justin Trudeau.
Fans flocked to the arena for the 2018-19 SJHL season in a year-long show of support for the new-look squad. Two surviving players returned this season, but the rest of the team was essentially built from scratch after a May training camp. The Broncos finished sixth out of 12 teams with 35 wins in 58 games and 74 points. In the post-season, Humboldt led its SJHL second-round series versus the Estevan Bruins three games to one before dropping the final three games, including a 3-2 overtime loss in Game 7.
