Unbelievably sad news... I pray for the families, friends and fans of the men that lost their lives and I pray for the survivors who will deal with emotional scars long after the physical ones heal.

Clarkson's Greg Moro played for them for three seasons.

The GoFundMe campaign just passed $1,000,000.

Humboldt coach Darcy Haugan played six games for Northern Michigan in the 1996-97 season. He was among 14 killed in last night's tragic accident. #HumboldtStrong

One should rarely trust the very early reports. Looks like the tweet I saw confused Northern MI and MI Tech and confused future player with former player. Sad news in either situation.

RCMP has upped total to 15 now. Truly heartbreaking and beyond tragic.

Re: Tragedy for the Humboldt Broncos

This is such a horrible tragedy. My heart is breaking for the team's families/friends/fans/opponents. The bus trips are something I always think about when my beloved Colgate women's and men's hockey teams take to the road. Thinking of those in Humboldt.

Looking at a picture of the crash site https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/07/w...bus-crash.html it is surprising that anyone survived.

The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix has a good writeup on all 15 who died in the crash, plus the survivors:https://t.co/dyHRmJ8bjy

The gofundme has eclipsed 3 million, currently around 3.2M.

While I'm sure it isn't entirely hockey community donations, I've gotta believe the majority are. It doesn't surprise me, but I'm always impressed with how the hockey community rallies around their own when times get tough, no matter where or who it is.

Hockey, especially non-NHL hockey, is really a close-knit group. There's a reason that there are friends in most any city when we travel. Niche sport with die-hard fans.

I may be crucified for this, but I feel it needs to be said. I feel for that truck driver, having to live with that guilt for the rest of his life. That weight on his shoulders....yes it's his fault from the reports, and he should feel guilt, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have major sorrow.....

The hockey community unites to overcome tragedies like this. From Alaska to Florida and BC to the Maritimes, everybody is #Praying4Humboldt pic.twitter.com/Y8jbu79vfS

Niagara Falls was illuminated in the colours of green and gold this evening, as a symbol of binational support for the residents of Humboldt, Saskatchewan as they deal with the pain and shock emanating from Friday's terrible crash. #HumboldtBroncos #HumboldtStrong #NiagaraFalls pic.twitter.com/lrFcH2FI8c

BREAKING: Coroner's office says they misidentified two victims. Tragically Parker Tobin, previously believed alive, is one of the deceased.

This means Xavier Labelle, previously thought dead by his family, is ALIVE. #HumboldtBroncos

I agree with you. When I was young, my mother was driving and didn't see a little boy rolling down his steep driveway on his bicycle. She hit him and he had a head injury...he lived, but she never really got over that guilt.

We're not perfect. Another reason why we should live every day to its fullest and be thankful for what we have.
