Drake Honored The Humboldt Broncos Bus Crash Victims During The Raptors’ First Home Playoff Game

The sports world has had an outpouring of grief for the people of Humboldt, Saskatchewan. The junior hockey club in the Canadian city was devastated by a crash that killed 16 people last week when a truck crashed into the team bus on the way to a junior hockey league playoff game.

The hockey world has had a number of tributes to the Broncos and those that died in the crash. People have left hockey sticks outside as a tribute to those that died, and earlier in the week, fans wore various team jerseys to honor the community and the Broncos.

One moving tribute came from the basketball world on Saturday afternoon when Drake attended Game 1 of the Toronto Raptors’ playoff series against the Washington Wizards. The rapper took his usual courtside seat at the Air Canada Centre wearing a Humboldt Broncos jersey.

Drake was shown pointing to the jersey and showing some love to the Humboldt community that’s been torn apart by the bus tragedy.

And as you can guess, as the Raptors ultimately created enough distance from the Wizards to pick up a 114-106 win, Drake was fired up.

Many of the surviving members of the team are still recovering in hospitals. In fact, one of the injured players got a visit from the Stanley Cup earlier in the week. It’s a small gesture from Drake, but it’s noticeable in a city that often puts hockey first. In Canada, and across the sports world, people have kept the Broncos in their thoughts as the community begins to heal.
