Dear CDAHA Families, 

I am sure you have all heard by now, of the terrible bus accident that took the lives of 15 members of the Humboldt Broncos Canadian Jr hockey team.  As news travels quickly through the hockey community it has hit many of us hard and our hearts are breaking for the friends and family of the lost players, coaches and support staff of the Humboldt Broncos. 

In a show of support and solidarity, many hockey families across Canada and the USA are leaving a hockey stick on their front porch, which you can read about here:  Hockey Stick Tributes for Team in Devastating Crash. 

USA Hockey has put out this statement:

"As a tribute to the victims and survivors of the bus accident involving the Humboldt Broncos Junior A team, we encourage all USA Hockey families to leave a stick outside their front door this weekend in support of the Broncos. While we cannot be there in person to mourn with the Humboldt community, each of us can show support by placing a stick outside on your porch this weekend. As was so aptly written … “Leaving it out on the porch tonight. The boys might need it ... wherever they are.”

From everyone at USA Hockey, our heartfelt condolences continue to be with the Humboldt community. Our thoughts and prayers will forever be with all involved."

CDAHA would like to encourage our members to do the same if you would like to participate.  In addition, some of our members also plan to take part in April 12 Jersey Day  by wearing their jersey to school in tribute to the Humboldt Broncos.  

We are so grateful for our CDAHA family and we will keep our extended hockey family in our hearts as they grieve and begin to heal.
