‘It’s time:’ Paralyzed Bronco returning to Humboldt for first time since crash
AIRDRIE — For the first time in 526 days, former Broncos hockey player Ryan Straschnitzki will be back in Humboldt, Sask.
The 20-year-old from Airdrie, Alta., was paralyzed from the chest down when a bus carrying Humboldt’s junior hockey team collided with a semi truck on the way to a playoff game on April 6, 2018.
Sixteen people died and 13 others, including Straschnitzki, were injured.
“I wanted to give myself the right amount of time before returning,” Straschnitzki told The Canadian Press.
