Drayton Valley mourns, remembers former Thunder players involved in Humboldt bus crash
Hundreds of people from Drayton Valley and the Thunder community attended a vigil at the Omniplex to remember and honour the victims of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in Saskatchewan.
The crash killed former Thunder goalie Parker Tobin and injured former forward Tyler Smith, who both played for the team in the 2016/17 season. 14 others were killed and a further 13 sustained injuries in the crash last Friday.
In his final year with the Thunder, Tobin was awarded best playoff performer.
Thunder Executive Cindy Waronek read a message she had received from Tobin’s billet mom, who described him as a great kid who would help with her children’s math homework.
