ST. ALBERT (NEWS 1130) – A hockey tournament is underway in St. Albert, honouring members of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team.
Stephen Wack, Jaxon Joseph, Logan Hunter and Conner Lukan were all killed in the April 6th bus crash that claimed the lives of 12 others and injured another 13 people. The four players were all from the St. Albert area.
The tournament was organized by 10 of the players friends, including Jaedon Leslie.
“Organizing the past three months has kind of made the time go by a little bit, but at the same time, it doesn’t feel real.”
Players in the tournament are participating on teams named for the players and their jerseys bear the names of the players they knew.
The tournament is free for spectators, but any donations brought in will be put toward a scholarship program and a memorial fund.
Yesterday charges were laid against the 29-year-old driver of the semi-truck in the crash.
Jaskirat Singh Sidhu faces 16 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and 13 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily injury.
