They stopped and paid respect at the crash site and did a little reflecting on life.“You still see the skid marks”: Steinbach Pistons stop at Humboldt Broncos crash site[ATTACH]23475[/ATTACH]As the Steinbach Pistons — the 2018 Manitoba Junior Hockey League champions — headed to Nipawin for Game 3 of the ANAVET Cup, they made a special stop along the way.“I don’t think we really understood the magnitude of how powerful visiting the crash site was going to be,” Pistons coach Paul Dyck said, describing how the team made their way to the scene of the collision where 16 people in the Humboldt Broncos organization lost their lives last month.“As we neared it, 10, 15 kilometers prior to that intersection, there was a different anticipation. The bus was very quiet, the guys were all looking forward through the windshield,” he continued. “And then the moment we arrived, it was really something I hadn’t ever experienced before — it was incredibly sobering.”[ATTACH]23476[/ATTACH]The Pistons are battling the Nipawin Hawks for the right to go to Chilliwack for the RBC Cup, Canada’s National Junior A Championship. The Hawks were in a series with the Broncos during the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs when the crash took place on April 6.Many of the Steinbach Pistons knew players on the Broncos. One of the people injured in the crash was former Steinbach Piston, Matthieu Gomercic, who was traded to the Broncos in 2016.“I thought initially it might be five minutes that we would be [at the crash site], but we were probably there for 20, 25 minutes,” Dyck recounted, saying being at the site was an important step in the healing process for many of his players.“We wanted to make sure that everybody had enough time to pay their respects.” Classy Steinbach, very classy!! </blockquote>
