They sang 'Songs of the Angels' (a funeral hymn) at Mass at the Cathedral in Saskatoon this past Sunday. The grief was unreal.

it's a terrible day for rain

Super sad.
misterslartibartfast
who's the eleventh guy?
Shaggymom
I just wish he hadn't forgot our territories. But we appreciate the sentiment.

My heart just aches. Sending prayers

Yes, this is in reference to Canada. The players are not players from the event but instead provinces in Canada.
Waitinglikeastalkingbutler
This choked me up. My condolences, Saskatchewan.
GinOClock
I can't hear a single piece on CBC about it without tearing up. I'm not close to hockey or teenagers, but it's so horrible.
ipoopalot27
Damn sorry to hear neighbor...

Sad to report a 16th person has now died from the crash. A too young Dana Brons. A 24 year old female athletic therapist for the team. RIP
RidinReactionCreator
Misspelled her name, should be Dayna Brons. She was basically the trainer for the team. Still can’t believe this happened
JDOT667
Yes. It’s heartbreaking
MrNobodyLivesHere
Fuck you downvoting trolls.....
hopeidontgetbannedagain
I wish out to the side were all the countries supporting as well, the whole hockey community has helped

Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut: "Nah"

One of 'em is bound to be the unidentified skater on the far right.

The Gofundme page is at 9 million dollars. That's right. 9 million

Ontario is having the same reaction I would have in that situation.
espressoandpostrock
I feel bad for laughing that Quebec just says "Que"
FAAAAAAAAAACK
pretty much the reaction. Stunned disbelief.

Thanks for thinking of Humboldt. The entire world has shown our little city so much love <3
davehawkey13
I can't imagine your sorrow, I live in the Battlefords and love our "Stars" but I will cheer for your broncos when they come to town
burningitchyrash
From the obnoxious country to your south- prayers to you. I'd send strength, but you're Canadians, so you don't need it..
HosniMubark
Nice

Tom Cochrane's tribute is beautiful as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=1s&v=ifWyI3bciPI. Lyrics were reworked to honour the Broncos
letstalkabouthis
Touching. Thx for posting it. That song will never sound the same to me.
Gianttesticlemonster
That's actually what the original is about. It's one of those songs where you have to quietly listen to the lyrics to hear them.
kibbypie
Thanks for commenting. I tried to make a post yesterday and the link wouldn't work. I love that he did a tribute.
daummy
Are the names on the jerseys significant?
davehawkey13
Abriviations for the other provinces of Canada
daummy
Oh nice thank you

Wear your jerseys to work today gang! Love, Alberta
kibbypie
Sure did!
sparkxlive
Canada will be wearing jerseys tomorrow to honour these young souls.
kibbypie
We sure did. The kinders are also colouring sticks to display.
zFUBARz
Apparently putting sticks in the yard as well.
sparkxlive
Yes. Some people are hesitant, hockey sticks can be expensive.
kibbypie
I put out old sticks, not hubby's composite.
zFUBARz
Oh I'm sure there will be a couple stories about broken/stolen sticks later this week.
nicksbitch
This hits home. We’re such a small province, damn near everybody in the Saskatchewan was connected to someone on that bus. /1
nicksbitch
The support from across Canada and from the international hockey community has been a source of strength for so many of us. Thanks, team.2/2
gleely
it's surreal reading through that list and seeing all those last names that are so familiar. The Saskatchewan is a tight community.
nicksbitch
Sorry, choked up while typing and didn’t notice the error. Everybody in Saskatchewan*, haha we don’t call it “the Saskatchewan”.
internetmexican
Not sure what this is for...can some one explain?
BobLoblawsLawBlogss
A bus carrying junior hockey players crashed with a truck and 16 players + coach died as a result. Country is grieving
imgonnawreckitagain
wow, that is awful. I didnt hear about it either. I can't imagine what they are going through
kibbypie
Curious where you are that you hadn't heard yet. It's been on the FP for days and obvy big news in Canada, and other hockey nations.

What province is holding Saskatchewan directly on the left?
davehawkey13
Alberta, Manitoba on right, they are Saskatchewans bordering provinces
MrKristy
I think it's supposed to be AB, they abbreviated MB weird too...
IW42
Those are the traditional, pre-postal code abbreviations, still often used in the press. http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000057.htm
MrKristy
Huh, I learned something new today
MrKristy
Well something old actually
JohannesdeVos
I was about to say. Artist maybe goofed and thought ALTA was Alberta. Alberta is AB normally.

working30hoursADay
Ohhh ok. I thought it was Alberta but was seriously confused
JohannesdeVos
Oh cool, learned something new.
AVeryTallGlassOfIToldYouSo
so this is referring to an event in Canada? what happened?
misterpiiig
Bus crash Killed 16.
theairhurtsmyface
Hockey bus hit by semi. Death toll now 16.
JoelJohnSteve
Hockey team's bus crashed. Lots of people passed away.
DrHenryGrabow
Who is Sask? The green jersey person?
Soupertrooper
All of the players have a canadian province on their back. Sask is Saskatchewan.
AutoBat
Saskatchewan, the province where the team was from.
FairfaxJack
And all of the other "players" are the other provinces
JDOT667
There was an accident involving a tractor trailer and a bus carrying a hockey team. 16 killed and they were all quite young. Around 16 years
PitoVerdeDeHULK
Thanks dude I'll read upon it asap
capughe
There was one kid misidentified until he woke up and said he was someone else. Happy for his parents but heartbreaking for the ones 1/
capughe
who thought their son was healing. 2/2
bluejaymaplesyrup
Just heard about that today. Can't really blame anyone but holy fuck is that a lot of emotions for those families to deal with.
xoverthirtyx
Forgive me but besides a visual hug I don’t get the artist’s choices here. Was there 1 survivor? Why are his gloves off? They look confused
MrE158
The letters on their backs are the various Canadian provinces. Saskatchewan's being taken off hurt by his team.
ANiceDude
Hockey we drop gloves and our helmet for a fight. Saskatchewan just suffered a serious blow, and all of Canada is helping him off the ice.
xoverthirtyx
Thanks!
