Former Humboldt Bronco aiming to make team again He survived the horrific bus crash that killed 16 and injured 13 more, including himself. And now a former Humboldt Broncos wants his shot at battling for his spot back. Graysen Cameron was on the Bronco’s bus on April 6, 2018, when a semi-truck ran a stop sign at an intersection and slammed into the bus, which was carrying the team to its playoff date against the Nipawin Hawks in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Cameron’s life was spared, but he suffered a broken back in the horrific crash. Now, after spending time with trainers of the Calgary Flames, the 20-year-old is ready to give it his best shot. “My only focus is getting to Humboldt and being able to perform there. I don’t want to show up and be average, I want to make a name for myself in the league, and do whatever it takes to try and get a championship there,” Cameron told The Canadian Press. Cameron spent last season in Red Deer, Atla., as an assistant coach with the Red Deer Midget AAA Optimist Chiefs, a team he played for prior to linking up with the Broncos. Cameron told CP that making the team won’t be easy, nor with the pressure of people expecting him to make it. While he said his comeback attempt is for himself, he wants to play for those who fell in the crash. “They’re always there (on my mind), and I think I’m not going back for them, I’m going back for me,” he said. “But I’m playing for them. I’ll always play for them.” (NBC)
The Humboldt Broncos are one of the GREAT stories of perseverance and shear determination in overcoming challenges. This is not a sport's story, this is a testament to the best-side of human nature.

Well done Cat for posting that Video...........Several Beers for you..........\+/ \+/ \+/ I really liked his Quote when dealing with the Mental Health Side of what he went through........."Realize your not OK" So MANY people Live in Denial and are afraid to reach out and ask for Help. Not 100% sure...........But if you scroll up and look at the Team Photo of the Broncos Tyler Smith is in Top Right and is the ONLY one wearing a Baseball cap turned backwards...........It's a GREAT Team photo..........if they only they knew what was about to happen....... Rest in Peace.
It's not just realizing you're not ok. many people think your wacko or nuts and belong in a mental institution or nut house. that's not true at all. that's the misconception.
