BRONCOS PASTOR RECALLS THE ‘VALLEY OF DARKNESS’
Thousands gathered last night to remember the 15 people who died when the Humboldt Broncos’ bus crashed on Friday. And they heard a heart-rending recollection from the team chaplain who happened upon the terrible scene and heard sounds of the dying. Pastor Sean Brandow told a vigil in the Saskatchewan junior hockey team’s home arena “We walked up on a scene I never want to see again, to sounds I never want to hear again.” Brandow encouraged the grieving crowd to lean on their faith as they struggle to deal with the tragedy.
