‘Stanley’ visit to hurt teens

INJURED Humboldt Broncos players have had a visit from the Stanley Cup.

Tom Straschnitzki – whose 19-year-old son, Ryan, was badly injured in the junior hockey team’s bus crash – was at Royal University Hospital on the weekend when a large box was wheeled in containing the trophy.

Tom Straschnitzki said Ryan’s bed was the first stop, and he says his son’s eyes grew wide as it was carried in.

Sixteen people have died as a result of a crash last week when the Broncos’ bus collided with a semi-trailer just south of Nipawin. Another 13 people were injured.
