I hear you Billy, and I agree this is the type of tragedy we deal with, not the others very often. Thank the Maker. GFM page now over 3 Mil.

Such a shame.  Seen many young lives lost at that age in combat.  At least we knew the risk.  Had a moment of silence at yesterday's Flyers game.

Watched some of the coverage last evening of the Humboldt vigil held in their local arena. A truly moving experience and causes one to reflect on just what is important in life as if we should need to ever be reminded but this only serves to cement that. Unimaginable what the community is/will be going through at this time.

So an update for all, sadly the trainer passed away in hospital today bringing the loss of life to 16. The GFM page has raised 8 million give or take for the players and families. Monday was wear green or yellow (which our whole family did) tomorrow is Jerseys for Humboldt day. Everyone is asked to wear a hockey jersey (if possible if not any jersey) tomorrow in a final show of rememberence. Also there is a Put a Stick Out For Them support campaign. Just asking to set a hockey stick outside your front door/laneway in support as well. Lots of things going on. They voted to continue SJHL playoffs after this friday with Nipiwan taking the other spot in the final as they were up 3 games to 1.
