The Friday bus crash that killed 15 people in Sakatchewan was a personal tragedy for some members of the 91原创-based Trinity Western University hockey team.
Messages of sympathy posted to social media said Spartan forward Jarrett Fontaine is from Humboldt and is a former Bronco player.
鈥淥ur playoff MVP Jarrett Fontaine is a Humboldt Bronco,鈥� TWU Coach Barret Kropf said.
鈥淗e grew up in Humboldt. He played in the western league, but those are his boys and that鈥檚 his coaching staff.鈥�
Fontaine said he was 鈥渂lown away鈥� by the news.
鈥淚 want some answers,鈥� Fontaine said.I don鈥檛 know if my friends are living or they鈥檙e dead.鈥�
Kropf was once coached by Humboldt Broncos Head Coach Darcy Haugan.
Haugan was among those killed when a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League collided with a truck about 30 kilometres from Tisdale northeast of Saskatoon.
The Broncos were headed to Nipawin for a game when the crash happened.
We are praying for you .
