They are the ONLY ones who get it! That's why I'm a lifelong hockey fan! I'm no fan of Bettman's but definitely love the league and have since I was a kid! This was incredibly inspriring, no question! #HUMBOLDTSTRONG :-)
Hockey players and fans have a great understanding and love for each other, they understand they are playing a game making lots of money because of us the fan. They get it Even the Superstars get it and treat fans well.
NHLERs are good people when was the last time you heard of any of them involved in anything that might be questionable if there are kids out there that want role models look up to hockey players.
Fantastic job guys. To Kaleb and Christina( sorry if I spelled your name wrong) you both did a wonderful job at speaking at the awards. I lost my niece Dayna in the accident and have made it my mission to be here for each and every one of you who have survived and lost so much. My heart aches in so many ways in this tragedy. God help us all to be there for one another❤💞❤💞❤💞
As a fellow Canadian, you know that we stand by you as a Country, share in the pain, and please know these beautiful people will never fade from our memories. Never. God bless you and the rest of the Bronco's Family and trust that He accepted the one's we lost as a nation, into his arms without hesitation.
I was in Minnesota for a hockey tournament the weekend in which this happened. My team and i's hearts went out to the broncos in this hard time. Especially how it could happen to any of us.
Every time I look at any of these young men’s faces my body shuts down and I can’t help but cry. All they were trying to do was get to there hockey game. All I can think about is when I was a young man in the backseat with my parents or carpooling with team mates. Breaks my heart every time, if any of you guys read this I want you to know my heart goes out to everyone involved, my sticks will be out on my porch as long as I’m breathing. #humboldtstrong
Pavel Datsyuk I was on buses all though Junior hockey and even beyond that. I remember the feeling of being with the boys. Playing cards, watching movies, joking around, being brothers. It crushes my heart knowing that these kids were going towards their dream and suffered a nightmare.
I haven't cried this hard since I attended the Humboldt memorial in Edmonton while travelling Canada. We will never forget what happened in April and the hockey community will make sure of that. ❤️ Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺
Nipawin is my hometown and we always had and will continue to have a great rivalry with Humboldt. This was a tough one for me and a lot of people I know personally and it was truly epic how the world came together and joined us as one hockey family.
It seems there's a lot of dust in my office right now. Anybody seen my swiffer? Being from Florida, we don't have a lot of hockey teams, much less ones that are big time Junior teams. But as a hockey fan, this was a sad story that, in due time, will have a happy ending. Those boys up there are seemingly stronger than ever, and will always have each other and the memories they made with their teammates, prior to April 6th. I hope that the ones who are able and skilled enough are looked at by many (if not all) of the NHL teams. I hope the ones who aren't able to play anymore are able to find work in the sport that they love, and are able to contribute to the game in other ways. Stay strong, boys.
I could never imagine being exicted going on a trip to another city to do what I love and never reach the destination. I am so sorry. I don't wanna know what all of the fanilies and friends went and still are going through. The higher power may bless everyone that was in this crash or helped in anyway
Having them in the same league as our home town team, the ice dogs, makes this heart wrenching to watch. I’ve watched them play, and I can’t imagine having this happen to our home team
To be honest, if I had to be a part of something like that when it happened, I would have been broken and probably not recover ever. It’s amazing how resilient these guys are, stay strong humboldt
I'm from Saskatchewan Swift Current exactly and even tho this is 2 months ago or so. This still hits home and my heart still hurts when I hear this. Still tough to hear and listen. For the boys that lost there lifes R.I.P gentlemen. And the gentlemen that survived the accident keep on pushing your dreams.
When the news came in when it happened, I was numb for two days, never met a single one of them, but every Canadian and anyone who has played organized sports knows what its like on those busses, the memories you gain and experience.
Being from sask (where the broncos are from) and playing an on ice sport and being on those buses and know one of the young men that lost his life, it's nice seeing support from everyone
My dad knew Darcy briefly, as one of his friends was really good friends with him, best friends. They knew each other and I knew him very briefly, as I have just talked to him once. That is beside the point, I teared up a little, this is gut wrenching. May I ask, how do you dislike a video such as this?
I'm a 21 year old dude. Played hockey from 4-11. Just stopped cause we couldn't afford it. The passion has never faded. Breaks my heart what happened to this team. I was on buses with my team. I have felt the comradery. I'm crying even after 6 years. I was crying back then, and I'm crying now. It really hurts.
I left Kingston Ontario on Saturday September 9th, 2018 and with a few stops in between made it to Humboldt September 12th at 830am and was at that game. No words to describe it except .... sheer awe!
Thank you Kaleb for sharing your story on the spittin chiclets podcast. You and your teammates’ strength is truly incredible and we all wish you godspeed ❤️
I play on a junior hockey team. Traveling the US often. They are my brothers and have gone through everything with them. I couldn’t imagine losing them. These young men are stronger than ever.
If this doesn't bring a tear to ur eye, u don't love Hockey. The tragedy happened in SK but it has touched the ENTIRE hockey community around the world. Hopefully the players who are no longer here were looking down and smiling. Broncos family and friends, this happened in April, we are now in June...BUT we will NEVER forget. To those surviving members I hope u can someday rejoin ur team on the ice. It took a lot of courage and strength for Darcy's beautiful wife Christina to get on stage and speak. May God be with u All.
Skipped by this video few a times....knew it was going to be tough. Difficult as it was for them, job well done Broncos...Humboldt Strong and Canada Proud
I don't know how I got to this video but I feel very sad by this great tragedy. A big hug for the Broncos and the ice hockey family, from an Atlético Madrid fan. There is no border for sports and compassion. #humboldtstrong
HEY NHL !!!! DRAFT ALL THESE BOYS... WHETHER THEY MAKE IT OR NOT... DEDICATE THIS YEAR'S DRAFT TO THE BOYS WHO ARE STILL ALIVE AND THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED ON ! ...Let the dream live for the families effected by our nation's tragedy!... God Bless
I was just thinking this! THESE KIDS NEED TO PUSH FOR THE NHL. One of my Caps, Chandler Stephenson, is taking the Cup to Humboldt during his time with it over the Summer, and it should be really emotional and inspirational! I'm sure the kids'll be invited to his Cup party. I hope they get invited, at least.
gumby yes he would. Players get picked out of the SJHL every now and again you meat stick. This is a very good junior hockey league, not your local junior B kids
Cole Jordan what's wrong with an extra draft spot where a kid named at the draft in honor for the loss and dedication of each player and family to the game of hockey? NOTHING! ..
So very difficult to watch when you have been involved in the hockey world for so long and have so many close friends and a son who plays pro that buses everywhere. God bless these boys
Incredible strength by all those involved to persevere. Thank you to Ivan English (3:55 in the video), physiotherapist for helping support their recovery!
At first my family was celebrating my daughters tenth birthday 🎂 she was so happy 😊. Later in the day the crash was all over the place every channel on tv it was truly heart ♥ braking. Being a Canadian myself this was very heart braking but what got me the most was this crash was in the minds of the world young and old my daughter asked me what she could do to help and I said we pray for things to get better and she said she would love to do something nice for the broncos and she came out with a big box full of her birthday gifts and any money she got for her birthday gifts to... I told her that was very generous and sweet of her so we found out were to mail it and she did all by herself it showed me just how this bus crash was impacting even the heart ♥ of young children 🚸. I could not be more proud of her for doing that. We may never know if the broncos got the box but we truly hope it did. No parent caregivers or family members should ever have to say good bye to their children like this it's not right. My family and I hope that this team and family and friends can find some piece and know that so many people have yous in our prayers. Humboldt Strong 💪...
Thats was so special...I love seeing those beautiful pictures on the wall.....conrats Darcy and do take care Christina ...love to you all,,,crying again#canadastrong
Thank YOU NHL for a great tribute in spite of a great tragedy---in a world of constant human turmoil it is a blessing to see such good come forth in spite of the accident EXCELLENT
My heart breaks for them. I hope they can have some happiness in their lives after everything they've been through. I think about them always. God bless them all. ❤❤ #HumboldtStrong
This was legitimately tough to watch
hockeyfreakofnature This Florida and Vegas was tough
Indeed
I agree.
Yes
I did ok until the In Memorian part 😭
These boys are so strong..hockey is a brotherhood
I agree.
So true bro
M_ Mallz i agree
So true
This is one of the most emotional things I’ve ever watched. #humboltstrong
You said it, whoa 😢
Pigeons 420 I’m sad
Coreen Evans you said it Coreen Evans
A Walk To Remember was pretty emotional for me
How can people dislike this video
Blai se hope they are miss clicks
They’re crying too much the screen is blurry so they clicked the dislike by accident thinking it was the like button.
Douche bags is who
Maybe they are to sad.
well think about it for one second......do you " like " this video where so many people died?
NHL gets it.
They are the ONLY ones who get it! That's why I'm a lifelong hockey fan! I'm no fan of Bettman's but definitely love the league and have since I was a kid! This was incredibly inspriring, no question! #HUMBOLDTSTRONG :-)

Taco Stacks exactly
NHLERs are good people when was the last time you heard of any of them involved in anything that might be questionable if there are kids out there that want role models look up to hockey players.
This is gut wrenching.
The picture of them holding hands in the hospital breaks me. I can’t imagine pain they will all carry. RIP to the young lives lost.
Yep. 56 year old guy with tears running down my cheeks. I admit it. God Bless these families !!
BE OK Big MEN CRY TY xoxo
Still pissed that the broncos weren’t mentioned once at the espys.
Because as Max Kellerman says “no one cares about hockey” it’s sad that they were only recognized at a hockey related event
Fantastic job guys. To Kaleb and Christina( sorry if I spelled your name wrong) you both did a wonderful job at speaking at the awards. I lost my niece Dayna in the accident and have made it my mission to be here for each and every one of you who have survived and lost so much. My heart aches in so many ways in this tragedy. God help us all to be there for one another❤💞❤💞❤💞
Audrey Hopfner I’m so sorry for your loss. She was taken far too soon.
Thank you Ryan,all of them were taken too soon.😪😪
You are right. Big hugs
Condolences and hugs from the east coast 💕 Trainers are the unsung heroes of every team.
As a fellow Canadian, you know that we stand by you as a Country, share in the pain, and please know these beautiful people will never fade from our memories. Never. God bless you and the rest of the Bronco's Family and trust that He accepted the one's we lost as a nation, into his arms without hesitation.
Chills. And absolutely gut wrenching.
This was hard to watch.
Love to the Broncos from Sweden.
I was in Minnesota for a hockey tournament the weekend in which this happened. My team and i's hearts went out to the broncos in this hard time. Especially how it could happen to any of us.
On a side note, great to see Willie O'Ree still alive and well. Great decision by the NHL to come up with this award and name it after Willie.
Every time I look at any of these young men’s faces my body shuts down and I can’t help but cry. All they were trying to do was get to there hockey game.

My heart hurts :( All the best to you boys ❤
Pavel Datsyuk I was on buses all though Junior hockey and even beyond that. I remember the feeling of being with the boys. Playing cards, watching movies, joking around, being brothers. It crushes my heart knowing that these kids were going towards their dream and suffered a nightmare.
I'm not crying, you are
Its just dusty in here and im pretty sure someones cutting onions. So
I haven't cried this hard since I attended the Humboldt memorial in Edmonton while travelling Canada. We will never forget what happened in April and the hockey community will make sure of that. ❤️ Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺
My heart still hurts so much for those boys and the community of Humboldt... This was one of the hardest things I've ever watched...
glad to see all the fellas lookin good up there!
The NHL players in the audience were fighting tears. Hockey is a brotherhood. Even across leagues at different levels.
how was everyone in the audience not absolutely sobbing? every time i see anything about these beautiful boys i lose it
Callie E I know the feeling anytime I watch something about it and start to tear up.
Nipawin is my hometown and we always had and will continue to have a great rivalry with Humboldt. This was a tough one for me and a lot of people I know personally and it was truly epic how the world came together and joined us as one hockey family.
Just rewatched this. These boys are complete rockstars. Amazing kids.
💚💛💚💛 humboldt strong rip to those who died and I wish to see a bright future to the survivors
It seems there's a lot of dust in my office right now. Anybody seen my swiffer?
Being from Florida, we don't have a lot of hockey teams, much less ones that are big time Junior teams. But as a hockey fan, this was a sad story that, in due time, will have a happy ending.

well put
There's cut onions in my house, whoa 😥
The support has been spread all around the world and even down here in New Zealand 🏒🥅
My stomach hurt watching this. This was absolutely heart breaking.
What an absolutely gorgeous piece
Chad The Man Wait, the tribute?
Every time I watch this, I cry. Damn.
Darcy deserved that award 110%, I knew him, he was my youth pastors uncle. This is heart breaking.
Beautiful
i made the mistake of watching this at work......so hard to hold em back.
东北幽默的爷们 literally me rn 😭
This is why i love living in Canada we stand together no matter what no matter what any one is going through we all rally.
Still in our hockey hearts. Keep pushing boys!
I could never imagine being exicted going on a trip to another city to do what I love and never reach the destination.
I am so sorry. I don't wanna know what all of the fanilies and friends went and still are going through. The higher power may bless everyone that was in this crash or helped in anyway
Wow, heartbreaking, but I'm very proud of those kids for holding each other up in what I'm sure is a very difficult time.
even 2 years later, i still cry every time i see this. god bless them all from america
Beautiful. Sending love from Alberta 💕
Having them in the same league as our home town team, the ice dogs, makes this heart wrenching to watch. I’ve watched them play, and I can’t imagine having this happen to our home team
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! PROUD TO BE 🇨🇦CANADIAN🇨🇦 💚💛💚💛💚💛
How could you dislike this video
I haven’t ever cried while watching something until now.... powerful stuff.
I can't not cry when I think about this
To be honest, if I had to be a part of something like that when it happened, I would have been broken and probably not recover ever. It’s amazing how resilient these guys are, stay strong humboldt
Rest in peace sweet souls, your now on Father's great Hockey team in heaven.
love from Elle in England xx
I'm from Saskatchewan Swift Current exactly and even tho this is 2 months ago or so. This still hits home and my heart still hurts when I hear this. Still tough to hear and listen.

This Broke my heart.
Classy and admirable achievement by the NHL to honour the Broncos and the way in which this story has touched so many.
Watching this in 2020. My heart still hurts for thoes involved. Many lives effected and lost. A piece of Canada died this day. 😭😭
forever in our hearts.
Sending love from Toronto.
4yrs later and this is still so moving
55 yrs of age and tearing up like a 2 year old. Wish i had half the strength these kids and families have. #HumboldtStrong
My dad knew Darcy briefly, as one of his friends was really good friends with him, best friends. They knew each other and I knew him very briefly, as I have just talked to him once.
That is beside the point, I teared up a little, this is gut wrenching. May I ask, how do you dislike a video such as this?
what a beautiful tribute

I have felt the comradery. I'm crying even after 6 years. I was crying back then, and I'm crying now. It really hurts.
Very sweet, eloquent and smart speech. Damn this was hard to watch.
This was definitely a tear jerker.
This makes me cry every time and also makes me proud to be Canadian anyone who dislikes this truly dose not have a heart
I left Kingston Ontario on Saturday September 9th, 2018 and with a few stops in between made it to Humboldt September 12th at 830am and was at that game. No words to describe it except .... sheer awe!
Oh Jesus Christ. This was so hard.
Canada Strong
Watching this again..Hurts to watch
Still tearing up after 2 1/2 months 😪 One breath at a time..
Cried the whole video, ugh... so sad. Rest In Peace to all those that were lost & my prayers go out to the survivors. 💚💛
What a group of courageous young men. Thier lives were changed forever, but remain Humboldt strong. 💕
I can’t watch this without sobbing. Those poor kids, I can’t imagine what they have gone through. My thoughts and prayers are with you forever. 😔🙏🏻
Thank you Kaleb for sharing your story on the spittin chiclets podcast. You and your teammates’ strength is truly incredible and we all wish you godspeed ❤️
I play on a junior hockey team. Traveling the US often. They are my brothers and have gone through everything with them. I couldn’t imagine losing them. These young men are stronger than ever.
Chills when they walked out on stage. Couldnt imagine what they went through. 💪
Strong group of guys 💚💛💚 I hope them and their loved ones continue to have the strength to move forward
This was beautiful. My heart hurts for these guys ❤️
Still so overwhelmingly sad... Lots of tears watching this. I am proud of these young men and their families!
Tears.....God Bless You all 😢😢😢😢😢😢
That's so cool that the NHL flew them all out to be there. So much respect for the players and families
I made it until the tribute then I let it out 😭
same 😭😭😭😭😭
Incredibly proud to be Canadian. Stay strong boys. We will always be here for you!
A beautiful Tribute to the Humboldt Broncos. Tears were streaming down my cheeks.
I still have my hockey sticks out #humboldtstrong
Coyotesfan 40 same here
I can’t getting to much rain
Us too!
Coyotesfan 40 don’t think ill ever take mine back in
Same. It reminds me what Canada is.
If this doesn't bring a tear to ur eye, u don't love Hockey. The tragedy happened in SK but it has touched the ENTIRE hockey community around the world. Hopefully the players who are no longer here were looking down and smiling. Broncos family and friends, this happened in April, we are now in June...BUT we will NEVER forget. To those surviving members I hope u can someday rejoin ur team on the ice. It took a lot of courage and strength for Darcy's beautiful wife Christina to get on stage and speak. May God be with u All.
What a recovery by some of the players that survived. Hopefully they can move forward in their lives.
Skipped by this video few a times....knew it was going to be tough. Difficult as it was for them, job well done Broncos...Humboldt Strong and Canada Proud
This is so touching I'm so glad they honoured the coach and the team, #HumboldtStrong
Their pain is so strong. Who ever disliked this video should really check themselves!
I don't know how I got to this video but I feel very sad by this great tragedy. A big hug for the Broncos and the ice hockey family, from an Atlético Madrid fan. There is no border for sports and compassion. #humboldtstrong
I had tears in my eyes watching.. Strong they are and they need to be.
HEY NHL !!!! DRAFT ALL THESE BOYS... WHETHER THEY MAKE IT OR NOT... DEDICATE THIS YEAR'S DRAFT TO THE BOYS WHO ARE STILL ALIVE AND THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED ON ! ...Let the dream live for the families effected by our nation's tragedy!... God Bless

I'm sure the kids'll be invited to his Cup party. I hope they get invited, at least.
@gumby
WTF! If Bettman were to bar players from being drafted, it would be for a far more damning reason than surviving a bus crash.
gumby yes he would. Players get picked out of the SJHL every now and again you meat stick. This is a very good junior hockey league, not your local junior B kids
Cole Jordan what's wrong with an extra draft spot where a kid named at the draft in honor for the loss and dedication of each player and family to the game of hockey? NOTHING! ..
But they're not good enough to get drafted
So very difficult to watch when you have been involved in the hockey world for so long and have so many close friends and a son who plays pro that buses everywhere. God bless these boys
Incredible strength by all those involved to persevere. Thank you to Ivan English (3:55 in the video), physiotherapist for helping support their recovery!

Way to go NHL this was a classy move. And well deserved award for Darcy!
