COL@EDM, Gm4: Survivors of bus crash give support

Five hockey players who survived the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash from 2018 made a special presentation to Edmonton Oilers superfan Ben Stelter and his family at Rogers Place on Monday.

On April 6, 2018, 16 people died and 13 were injured after a bus taking the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League to a playoff game collided with a transport truck at a rural intersection in Saskatchewan. Five of the survivors -- Brayden Camrud, Graysen Cameron, Ryan Straschnitzki, Tyler Smith and Derek Patter -- attended Game 4 of the Western Conference Final and made a donation to offset Stelter's medical costs.
Stelter is a 6-year-old with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. The Oilers fan was diagnosed with a brain tumor one year ago, going through four rounds of chemotherapy and 30 sessions of radiation to remove it.

Stelter
developed a relationship with the Oilers and their players earlier in the season
, joining the team for morning skates, games, dressing-room meet ups and post-game press conferences.
Stelter also had his hand in popularizing the "Play 'La Bamba,' baby!" movement in Edmonton, which
honors the team's late locker room attendant Joey Moss
, by
sharing videos on social media
during the Oilers run to the Western Conference Final.
