Humboldt Broncos play first game since fatal bus crash | SC with SVP | ESPN

Five months after a bus crash killed 16 people, the Humboldt Broncos hosted their first regular-season game against the Nipawin Hawks, the team they were travelling to face the night of the April crash with a tractor-trailer. The Broncos scored the first goal of the game, but eventually lost 2-1. John Buccigross joins Scott Van Pelt to discuss the significance of junior league hockey in Canada and its connection to community.

[@Steve76777]

You got that right. But unfortunately this avoidable tragedy can happen again because the Canadian government still refuses to put seatbelts in buses. It's an insult to the people died and their families when nothing changes after a tragedy. Clearly the government doesn't care about these death.

[@Zimeatsgirswaffles]

This is one of those things that should just never happen. It's quite literally the worst case scenario for any sports team, and to this day I'm still in disbelief that it actually happened. I've always been curious though, what happened to the rest of their season after this event? Did they have to forfeit the rest of the season, or did they find enough replacement players to keep it going?

Deport this man after he's served his sentence to send a strong message to these Indian nationals about obeying the rules of the road when they come to work in Canada. I've been on rideshare vehicles with them ( they operate fleets of rideshares) in people carriers with high roll over rates and they show no respect for roaD safety. It's all how UT is in their head - chaotic. That stop sign was there for a reason, but in Sidhus head, " nothing was gonna happen", it doesn't matter if you pass that rural route a hundred times, you still have to stop every time! Again, the sign is there for axreason! It wasn't a mistake, he didn't make a mistake that day.. Deport him.
