Tributes for the Humboldt Broncos have been happening across North America since the tragic accident occurred on April 6. NHL teams have held moments of silence and sent gifts and monetary donations to the club. The hockey community have put their sticks out on their porches as well as wearing hockey jerseys to work and school.
