Hockey world reflects on Humboldt bus tragedy
KAMLOOPS — The Humboldt team bus tragedy has impacted on the entire hockey world.
Even the most grizzled and toughest in the game have been moved to tears.
“It just goes to show you that you need to embrace every day, and each and every day that you’re —- with your family.”
says a tearful Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock. “You better enjoy it (tearful pause) let’s talk about hockey.”
Fifteen lives lost and in the closely knit family in the hockey world, there are very few who didn’t know one of the 15, or didn’t know someone who was close to them.
It’s hit home for several members of the Kamloops Blazers.
