Thursday April 12, 2018 – Wear a Jersey to support Humboldt, Saskatchewan

Posted on by Ventura Park P.S.

“A group of hockey moms in Langley, B.C. has launched a campaign to show support for the victims of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

Jennifer Pinch said they want everyone to wear a hockey jersey — or any other type of sports jersey — on April 12 as a sign of support to crash victims and their families.

Pinch said wearing a jersey is a simple gesture that will let victims’ families know that “they’re not alone…. There’s a whole community behind them.”” (https://globalnews.ca/news/4130525/humboldt-broncos-crash-hockey-jersey-day/)
