Game 1 of the SJHL final went in Nipawin Saturday night between the hometown Hawks and the Estevan Bruins, but those on the ice played the game for Humboldt and the Humboldt Broncos.
The Broncos were en route to Nipawin April 6 for Game 5 of their semi-final series when their bus collided with a tractor-trailer killing 16 and injuring 13 others.
Before the game, the two teams stood in a circle at centre ice with first responders from the area who attended the crash site and helped out being honoured with an extended moment of silence being held for the 16 who were killed.
The Bruins won the game 5-2
