Earlier this month, the Humboldt Broncos' team bus was involved in a collision with a semi-truck near the intersection of two Saskatchewan highways — resulting in the death of 16 people and injuring many others.
Humboldt, a city located in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada is where the Canadian junior hockey squad called home. And although it is nestled over 1,500 miles away from Albuquerque, a road trip of over 24 hours, UNM head hockey coach Grant Harvey said it hit close to home.
"It’s so crazy, I don’t (have a connection to the Humboldt Broncos) at all," Harvey said.
