LIVE!!!!!Celebration of life in Edmonton honours 4 Humboldt Broncos players

A celebration of life will be held in Edmonton on Tuesday afternoon, to honour the lives of four Humboldt Broncos players killed in a devastating bus crash a little over one week ago.
The celebration of life at Rogers Place will pay tribute to Jaxon Joseph, Logan Hunter, Parker Tobin and Stephen Wack. The families of the Edmonton-area players are hosting the public celebration at 1 p.m. MT.
Joseph, the 20-year-old son of former Edmonton Oilers defenceman Chris Joseph, was from Edmonton. He was among the leading scorers in the SJHL playoffs.
Wack, from St. Albert, previously played in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. The 21-year-old had been with the Broncos for the past two seasons.
Hunter, also from St. Albert, played for the St. Albert Raiders for several seasons before joining the Broncos.
Tobin, an 18-year-old from Stony Plain, was the Broncos’ goalie. He used to play for the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Spruce Grove Saints.
On April 6, the Humboldt Broncos team bus collided with a semi-truck while en route to an SJHL playoff game. Sixteen people were killed as a result of the crash. As of Friday afternoon, 10 people remained in hospital, two in critical condition.
The public is invited to the celebration of life in Edmonton on Tuesday afternoon. Tickets to the service are free, but those wishing to attend must get a ticket through Ticketmaster.
Doors will open at noon on Tuesday. In lieu of flowers and sticks, the families are asking for donations to be directed to Stars Air Ambulance.
Global News will carry the service live online at 1 p.m. MT for those unable to attend the ceremony to watch.

Sad!!!! Corp member falls from moving commercial bus in Lagos.

At about 9:45pm on 15/04/19 a  corp member fell from a moving commercial bus (danfo) along LASU-ISHERI road Lagos.  He sustained severe head injury and was lying by the road side.  A few  eye witnessed at the scene of the incident assisted in driving him down to a nearby hospital at (Alimosho General hospital, Igando) where he was given first aid treatment. He was thereafter referred to LASUTH for further medical management that same night due to the nature of the injury he sustained. However, no one  has been unable to contact the relatives or friends. Mobile phone on him  can't be accessed (passworded) and has no means of identification on him.   We hope the young man recovers fast from the severe head injury sustained during the ugly incident. Anyone with useful information about the victim should please contact the relatives or the  Lagos State NYSC secretariat or call 09092377729.
