Tributes continue to pour in from around the world for 15 Canadian hockey players and team personnel who were killed in a bus crash on Friday evening.

Police say that the men and boys who died, along with 14 others who were injured, had been travelling with the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team to a playoff game in Nipawin, Saskatchewan when their bus collided with a transport truck.

News of the tragedy has been reverberating nationwide ever since, particularly among members of the athletic community – much of whom are all-too-familiar with spending time on the road as part of a team.

Thoughts are back in Sask tonight with the Humboldt Broncos and their families. Terrible tragedy.

"The hockey world is an unbelievable world," said Leafs coach Mike Babcock during a press conference on Saturday.

"It's gotta rip the heart out of your chest. We pray for those families and thinking about them. I don’t know what else you say. Horrific, horrific accident. Tough day."

We want to help.
