Show Notes
Two teenage hockey players from Hinton, Alberta, tragically lost their lives in a highway crash near Jasper. Kayla Peacock and Danica Hills, both grade twelve students and teammates on the Jasper under-eighteen Bearcats, were heading home from practice when their vehicle collided with a semi-truck. Road conditions are believed to have contributed to the accident. The girls, who had promising futures ahead, were set to attend the University of Alberta and study hairstyling. Their school and communities are mourning, with counseling support available for students and staff. Tributes are planned for upcoming games, including a moment of silence this Friday. The Bearcats will play their first game without the girls on March sixth. The crash has sparked discussions about highway travel risks for young players in remote areas, following another similar tragedy in Alberta this season.
