RCMP are confirming fatalities after the Humboldt Broncos team bus and a semi crashed on a north-central Saskatchewan highway.
The number of fatalities has yet to be confirmed, but Mounties say officers are still “continuing rescue efforts” on scene — on Highway 335 near Gronlid, north of Melfort — and that the collision also involves a number of injuries.
STARS air ambulance has also been dispatched to the area.
The general manager and assistant coach of the Nipawin Hawks, who were set to play the Broncos tonight, confirmed the crash involved the Broncos bus.
The game is cancelled, according to the Nipawin team. The manager and coach, Doug Johnson, said hockey is the last thing on anyone’s mind at the moment.
RCMP say traffic is expected to be blocked or restricted in the area for several hours.

On twitter I'm reading possibly 9-12 fatalities :( This is a Junior A hockey team, high level young adults and teens, one step down from the CHL (OHL/QMJHL/WHL where most NHL drafts come from)
