The Humboldt Broncos Memorial Committee has officially launched its campaign leading toward the construction of both a legacy centre on the Humboldt Uniplex site and a permanent memorial on Highway 35 at Armley Road. The announcement came via a press conference held on the eve of the third anniversary of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy.
The Committee is made up of delegates from the families impacted by the crash, City of Humboldt Representatives, and community volunteers. Their deliberations led them to the point of establishing a giving campaign to drive resources toward a multi-million dollar complex that would serve as a legacy and reflection centre in honour of the 2017-2018 Broncos.
“If we don’t find a way to inspire others and create something positive for the community, the families and the nation, then that would be a tragedy,” said Christina Haugan, the wife of 2017-18 Broncos coach Darcy Haugan. The project is in its initial conceptual stages. To be built at the Uniplex site, features to the facility could be added or removed depending on the success of the campaign. The second ice surface could be a smaller rink for minor hockey or a bigger one that could become the main home of the Broncos. The tribute gallery would display some of the items donated after the April 6, 2018 collision.
