The youngest of the victims was 16 . The driver of the sixteen wheeler survived and is a key witness . This is a dark day in Canadian hockey and the nation mourns 15 young men who were taken too soon .

If I understand the Canadian Junior Leagues correctly these kids were not necessarily local but were from all over Canada and staying with local families while on the team, yes?

I suppose I shouldn't have given kudos on this.
Such a shame. Wasted potential and young lives.
