Some of the victims

NIPAWIN, Sask. – Fifteen people were killed and 14 others injured in a horrific crash involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team. Here is some information about some of those who died:

DARCY HAUGAN:

The head coach of the Humboldt Broncos was described in online tributes as a “great man” and amazing mentor to young players. “He will always be a great man in our hearts,” his sister posted on Twitter under the name Debbie Jayne. “The tears just keep coming.”

ADAM HEROLD:

The youngest member of the team, Herold would have turned 17 this week. He was also a new member of the team – up until a few weeks ago, Herold was captain of the Regina Pat Canadians.

BRODY HINZ:

The 18-year-old Hinz had recently started tallying the Broncos’ numbers for Humboldt radio station CHBO.

LOGAN HUNTER:

Hunter’s death was confirmed by his former team, the St. Albert Raiders in his Alberta hometown. The organization’s president, Kevin Porter, said he heard the news from Hunter’s mother. “He always had a smile on his face,” said Porter, who described Hunter as a “smart kid and a great hockey player” with a “great sense of humour.”

JAXON JOSEPH:

The Edmonton native’s death was confirmed by the Surrey Eagles, his former team in the British Columbia Hockey League. The Broncos website says Joseph, who was 20 years old, was among the leading scorers in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs.

XAVIER LABELLE:

Isaac Labelle eulogized his 18-year-old brother in an Instagram post Saturday.

“I have no words to describe what I’m feeling. Best friends, teammates, allies, brothers,” he wrote. “We’ve been through so much together. We had a special bond from the day you were born.”

LOGAN SCHATZ:

The team captain had played for the Broncos for just over four years and was team captain, his father Kelly Schatz said. The native of Allan, Sask., played centre and was named the league’s player of the month in February after earning points in eight of nine games.

STEPHEN WACK:

The 21-year-old defenceman was one of the victims of the crash, his cousin Alicia Wack confirmed. He had played with the Broncos for two seasons. Wack said her cousin made the best gingerbread houses and “absolutely lived and breathed hockey.”
