Cherry pays further tribute to Humboldt Broncos, calls for fundraising support
Don Cherry paid further tribute to the Humboldt Broncos on Coach’s Corner on Wednesday night.
Cherry spoke during the first intermission of Game 1 of the Winnipeg Jets and Minnesota Wild’s first-round Stanley Cup playoff series, adding further detail to his thoughts on the Humboldt Broncos’ bus crash that has claimed the lives of 16 people and injured 13 others.
The TV commentator began by speaking about 24-year-old trainer Dayna Brons, who succumbed to her injuries earlier Wednesday.
“She was the trainer for the lacrosse team, the soccer team, the baseball team — she just wanted to help everybody,” said Cherry, as photos of Brons were displayed. “She was out there with everybody. When they’re trainers, it’s really something to see. The trainer is (someone) that the people go to and talk to. God love her.”
