Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews was on hand to help deliver to Humboldt the game-worn, Broncos name-plated, jerseys worn by teammates and the Winnipeg Jets last Saturday, one week after the tragic bus crash.

Sixteen people died in the accident, in which the team bus collided with a semi-truck as the Broncos were making their way to Nipawin for a SJHL playoff game.

"I can't for one second pretend that I know what it's like for anyone close to this event, to know what they're going through what they're feeling," Toews said, per CBC News.

"But just to know the entire hockey world is there for them, support and love is there."

The SJHL voted unanimously Wednesday to proceed with the playoffs.
