The hockey community continues to demonstrate support for the town of Humboldt, Saskatchewan and the fallen members of the Broncos hockey club following last week's fatal bus crash.

Several current and former NHL players have started to join in on a tribute to the team by putting hockey sticks outside their doors.

Part of the journey as a hockey player is the ride to the rink and the ride home, those moments are always a time of anctipation and reflection. Some of the best memories I have is riding the bus in Junior with my teammates. #HumboldtStrong #WeAreAllBroncos pic.twitter.com/naeLhVJgNn
