Welcome to a special Agree or Disagree:Facebook Live Event as we reflect on the outpouring of emotion

Hockey. It’s a part of the identity of Canada.

We all dream of playing.We all watch. Some of the best Canadian memories and moments are on the ice.

Rain, snow, or shine, families would wake up at 5:00 AM to take their kid or kids to the rink. They will stay up late. There are many of nights that there would be games on the street or on ice and we would just…play.

Then some would be good enough to advance to another level. And that dream of one day playing in the NHL would continue. For players. For broadcasters. For coaches.

They would travel on busses down the highways and roads of this country. Pursuing the passion that they loved. It brought smiles to faces, bonds of friendship, and lessons learned.

And now, that just seems…different.

This weekend was a weekend of sorrow, sadness and grief. The Humboldt Broncos were on their way to a playoff game against the Nipawin Hawks. A crash killed 15 and injured 14 others.,

It’s hard to say. It was hard to write.

The outpouring of grief was felt across Canada and the world. You heard just a piece of that from Connor McDavid, Glen Gulutzan, Mike Babcock and Sheldon Kennedy. There was more. Much more.

Where we go from here? How do we support the victims, some obvious, others connected in many different ways.
