There are so many heartbreaking stories coming out of Saskatchewan after the horrific bus crash over the weekend that killed 15 members of a junior hockey team, but this one is bittersweet.
Ryan Straschnitzki, an 18-year-old defenseman for the Humboldt Broncos, survived the crash but was left paralyzed from the chest down. Just hours after waking up from surgery, though, Ryan was already making plans to continue his hockey career.
“He keeps wanting to try and move his legs, of course, because he wants to go back skating,” Ryan’s father, Tom, told the Calgary Herald.
