The eyes of Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock blinked back tears Saturday as he tried to express his sorrow for the victims of the Canadian junior hockey team who were killed or injured in a crash Friday night.
Canadian police said early Saturday that 14 people were killed and 14 people were injured after a transport truck collided with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos in the province of Saskatchewan.
Humboldt head coach Darcy Haugan, who was in his third season with the Broncos and 19th year as a coach, was among those who died in the tragic accident, his wife Christina George-Haugan confirmed.
