Your memory of the Humboldt Broncos is about to get a new home

Morning from the junction — here's what's moving in Melfort.

There's news out of Humboldt about the ongoing memorial project for the Broncos crash. Eight years on, and the work continues. We talk a lot about the tragedy itself, and rightly so, but less about the long haul of memory, of building something lasting. It's more than just a plaque; it’s a commitment to remembering what happened on that highway between Tisdale and Armley.

This isn't just about a team from Humboldt; it's about the entire SJHL, and frankly, anyone who drives these roads. When you think about how many kids from Melfort, Tisdale, Nipawin, and all the communities in between have played in that league, or still do, you realize how close to home this hits. It's infrastructure for the soul, if you will. The kind of thing that reminds you of the deep connections across these towns, connections built on hockey, on shared experience, and sometimes, on shared grief.

* **Location:** The memorial is being built in Humboldt.

* **Timeline:** Eight years since the crash, with work still ongoing.

* **Significance:** It's a permanent reminder of the 2018 crash and its impact across Saskatchewan.

For folks here in Melfort, it's a reminder of how intertwined our communities are. That bus route from Humboldt, past our own junction, it's a familiar path for so many. This memorial is a touchstone for the whole northeast, something to visit, to reflect on, and to ensure that the memory of those players and staff stays strong, not just in Humboldt, but everywhere the SJHL means something.
