Social media users leave hockey sticks on their porches to tribute Humboldt crash victims

HUMBOLDT, Sask. — Social media users are reaching out to the town of Humboldt, sharing photos of hockey sticks left on front porches to pay tribute the 15 lives lost after a bus carrying the Broncos junior hockey team collided with a semi truck.

Fourteen others were injured in Friday’s crash — some critically.

The tragedy has captured the world’s attention, and more than $4 million has been raised for the victims and their families.

 

Winnipeg Jets broadcaster and Humboldt native Brian Munz posted the first hockey stick tribute on Twitter.

He says a friend he went to high school with in Humboldt sent him the picture with the message that “the boys might need it … wherever they are.”

Munz invited others to join the tributes on Sunday night, prompting scores of users to post similar photos and messages of support.
