Injured Broncos cheered by Stanley Cup visit to their hospital bedsides
SASKATOON — The Stanley Cup has visited the hospital bedsides of Humboldt Broncos who survived a deadly bus crash.
Tom Straschnitzki, whose son Ryan Straschnitzki was badly injured in the crash, says he was in a waiting area at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon on Friday night when a large box was wheeled in.
Recognizing the box from Stanley Cup presentations, he immediately suspected what was inside, and his suspicions were confirmed when someone wearing white gloves lifted the trophy from the case.
Tom Straschnitzki says Ryan’s bed was the first stop, and he says his son’s eyes grew wide as it was carried in.
