In this episode we speak with Kaleb Dahlgren, #1 Bestselling Author for his memoir, Crossroads, My Story of Tragedy & Resilience As a Humboldt Bronco.
On April 6, 2018, the news of a bus crash at the intersection of highways 35 & 335 in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, sent shock waves throughout Canada, and around the world. The Humboldt Broncos, a junior hockey team, were travelling to an away game when a semi-truck missed a stop sign, and crashed into their bus killing 16 people and leaving only 13 survivors, many with lifelong injuries. Kaleb was one of the survivors.
Kaleb is the former assistant captain the Humboldt Broncos Hockey team. Shortly after getting out of the hospital, Kaleb began his studies at York University and joined the York Lions varsity hockey team.
