Fifteen others on the bus were injured, three critically. The RCMP initially reported there were 28 people on the bus, but corrected that number Saturday morning to 29.
Postmedia News has confirmed the identities of three of the people on the bus who died, including head coach Darcy Haugan.
Two team members, Logan Schatz and Adam Herold, 16, also died.
Kelly Schatz, Logan’s father, told The Canadian Press his 20-year-old son played for the Broncos for just over four years and had served as team captain for the past two and a half years.
He says his son’s death is hard and the family members are seeking solace in one another.
There was no immediate word on the driver of the semi.
Parents and family seeking information about their family members who may have been in this collision can call 306-752-8700.
The father of player Derek Patter, who survived the crash, shared an image of his son and two other players in the hospital.
The collision happened at about 5 p.m. Friday on Highway 35 about 30 kilometres north of Tisdale, about halfway into the Broncos’ trip to Nipawin from Humboldt for Game 5 of their Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) semifinal series against the Nipawin Hawks. Nipawin is about 265 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
Saskatchewan Heath Authority spokeswoman Jennifer Lyons said Friday night that the organization was in a “Code Orange,” meaning casualties were incoming to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon.
