The Humboldt Broncos held a vigil for those who have fallen after the Friday night crash.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among the thousands at the Broncos rink, along with Don Cherry and multiple former NHL players paying their respects.
The vigil was packed by 6:30, filling the Broncos‘ Elgar Petersen Arena.
The Queen issued a statement, saying “Prince Phillip and I were saddened to hear word of the crash involving the Humboldt Broncos team. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost so much, with their families and with all Canadians who grieve with them at this time.”
Multiple members of the community and pastors were among those who spoke at the vigil including a minute of silence at 7:32 Saskatchewan time, when game six of the Broncos playoff series with the Nipawin Hawks was set to begin.
In total, 15 passed away in the crash, including 10 players, and 5 of their team personnel including Head Coach Darcy Haugan, and Broadcaster Tyler Bieber.
