Tragic news on the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

Such a tragedy.  Prayers and condolences to all of the families.

This is a terrible, terrible tradgedy. Those poor families  - cannot imagine what they are going through. All three of our kids are in the age range that was on that bus...heartbreaking event.

Awful, awful, awful. Thoughts and prayers to all those affected.

[Pigskin]

Terrible. Just watch the presser from Humboldt. A lot of people are broken.

Its a tragic thing, especially for a group so young.  Devastating for the community, even for the survivors, the feeling of guilt that they lived when their friends did not...  senseless loss of life, I'm sure we will find out more on why and how, but that doesn't matter, really.  The community, province and country will rally behind and give support.

But the support network is there, no doubt there will be something on HNIC, Don Cherry will obviously say something, other teams are adding their voices, local hotels are offering free rooms for families coming to the scene. 

The CFL has spoken up, the Riders issued a statement praising the strength of the people of the province, and Ambroise sending love and prayers on behalf of everyone in the league.  Many players have tweeted out support as well. 

There is a "Go Fund Me" page set up...  I donated already, if everyone here matched or beat my $20, it would help hit that goal...

Wow... jets are wearing "Broncos" nameplates tonight, and every team is donating $25k... and the 50/50 proceeds from tonight's game...

Jets and Blackhawks have Broncos nameplates.

Classy move and touching pregame by both teams tonight.

Apparently the driver of the semi ran a stop sign and t-boned the bus. Driver of the semi is not injured. The intersection is apparently a dangerous one, and a family of 5 was killed there about 20 years ago.

[Bond]

The worst news possible.

[theaardvark]

Wow... go fund me is over $3.3 million dollars...

Good cause but what exactly do they need this money for? 

[NorthernSkunk]

Good cause but what exactly do they need this money for? 

If you think it's a good cause ain't that reason enough ?

[gbill2004]

If you think it's a good cause ain't that reason enough ?

I mean like it?s a good nice thing to do, but what do they need the money for?  Where is the $3.3 million going to go? Is it just money to make the families feel better?  They won?t have medical expenses because we live in Canada. What exactly is the money for?
