A memorial made of hockey sticks, crosses, and Canadian flags is seen at the crash site of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team near Tisdale, Sask. Jonathan Hayward/The Canadian Press
Kevin Matechuk of Colonsay, Sask., wasn’t prepared for the emotions that hit him when he visited the site of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
