Journey of surviving Broncos’ players shown in new TSN documentary

Five months after April's tragic bus crash, the Humboldt Broncos will make their season debut tonight.

Only two players from last year's team will return to the ice for tonight's game and TSN has documented Derek Patter and Brayden Camrud's long road to recovery.

Both players suffered serious physical injuries including a broken leg and a broken shoulder, along with the obvious mental trauma associated with the tragedy.

The 11-minute documentary "2 Roads To Humboldt" covers the heartbreaking moments following the crash and powerful emotions that drove the two players to return to Humboldt.

TSN and CTV Saskatchewan will also present a commercial-free broadcast of the Bronco's season opener tonight beginning at 4:30 p.m. (PST).
