Crossroads
Crossroads: My Story of Tragedy and Resilience as a Humboldt Bronco | Kaleb Dahlgren
5 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
An inspiring story of hope and resiliency On April 6, 2018, sixteen people died and thirteen others were injured after a bus taking the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team to a playoff game collided with a transport truck in a rural intersection. The tragedy moved millions of people to leave hockey sticks by their front door to show sympathy and support for the Broncos. People from more than eighty countries pledged millions of dollars to families whose relatives had been directly involved in the accident. Crossroads is the story of Kaleb Dahlgren, a young man who survived the bus crash and faced life after the tragedy with resiliency and positivity. In this chronicle of his time with the Broncos and the loving community of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Dahlgren takes a hard look at his experience of unprecedented loss, but also revels in the overwhelming response and outpouring of love from across Canada and around the world. But this book also goes much deeper, revealing the adversity Dahlgren faced long before his time in Humboldt and his inspiring journey since the accident. From a childhood spent learning to live with type 1 diabetes to his remarkable recovery from severe brain trauma that astounded medical professionals, Dahlgren documents a life of perseverance, gratitude and hope in the wake of enormous obstacles and life-altering tragedy.

The Humboldt Bus Crash was devastating. This is Kaleb Dahlgren‘s story of the team, the crash & more. When I heard he was donating portion of the proceeds to STARS emergency services, I decided to buy this book. I did not expect to really like it, but I did. Too, the impact of diabetes on his life & sport was interesting. What has always stood out to me in this tragedy is who was lost & the graciousness of the families & 13 survivors. 4.5/5

LeahBergen It was just so awful 💔💔 3y
CindiB It really was @LeahBergen Horrible and unthinkable. 3y
MsMelissa This is one I‘d like to read, as heartbreaking as I‘m sure it. 3y
CindiB It is @MsMelissa but it is also about more than the crash and hope and resilience. Also shows background as to what the post crash was like for Kaleb from media, being famous for the wrong reason, etc. Good. Interesting. Well-written. 3y
