Alberta city honouring four Humboldt Broncos players close to fundraising goal
ST. ALBERT, Canada — An Alberta city is close to hitting its goal of $500,000 to honour four Humboldt Broncos who had played for various hockey teams there.
Officials with the St. Albert’s Humboldt Remembrance Committee say they were touched by the loss of 16 people who died in April when the junior hockey team’s bus and a semi-trailer collided at a Saskatchewan intersection.
Four of those who died — Logan Hunter, Jaxon Joseph, Conner Lukan and Stephen Wack — previously played hockey in St. Albert.
Committee members have said they wanted to do something to remember them in the city just north of Edmonton.
