Heavy hearts in the broadcasting community today as the funeral for Tyler Bieber takes place this morning. So the morning crew at Saskatoon Media Group stands together, with our jerseys on and mics over our hearts in memory of Tyler.#HumboldtStrong #jerseyday #RestEasyBiebs pic.twitter.com/IY4zAFQde8

Thirteen others are injured.
#JerseysforHumboldt was started by a group of hockey parents.
The City of Mississauga has lowered flags to half-mast to show support for the junior hockey team.
The Port Credit lighthouse was recently lit up in green.
Thousands of Canadians are rallying around the hockey community, with many residents, small businesses, and corporate giants leaving hockey sticks outside of their doors.
Back in Mississauga, my Mom joined in on leaving a stick out on the porch in honour of the Humboldt Broncos.
Amazing to see how much support the hockey community has given these past few days. Wishing nothing but the best to the people of Humboldt through this difficult timepic.twitter.com/jyTjWFzypo— James de Haas (@JdeHaas27) April 9, 2018
