Junior Hockey Tragedy

I'm sure you have all seen the reports of the disaster. There really are no words.

I was managing until I saw this--people across North America are leaving sticks out on their front porches, because 'the boys might need them, wherever they are' ... and then, well, I lost it for a bit.

One of the NHL players interviewed said that he, like almost all hockey players, had spent countless hours on buses and that many of his best hockey memories were from buses, and it was hard to imagine tragedy striking there. My heart hurts for the town especially.

I find it terribly hard to read stories like this. So many great kids lost. It's just.... hard.... really really hard....

Big Hug To Canada and all those who lost the ones they love!

Especially hard in a small town.

When I was in college we had the first fatal dorm fire in US history. School of 4,000 kids. Everyone knew at least 1 victim. Can't imagine what the families are going through, but I have some understanding of what the rest of the town is going through.
