Book detailing Broncos tragedy pulled after family backlash
A book detailing the history of the Humboldt Broncos and the lives of those killed and injured in April’s bus tragedy is being pulled from store shelves after an outcry from families.
Humble Beginnings of the Humboldt Broncos and the 2017-2018 Team, by Barry Heath, was published in September but quickly received backlash for being released too soon and without the permission of family members.
A large portion of the book focuses on those affected by the April 6 crash near Melfort, which killed 16 people and injured 13 others.
Several parents, including Toby Boulet, shared a message on social media asking people not to buy the book.
