ST. ALBERT, Alta. -- Memorial scholarships are being set up to honour four Alberta hockey players who were killed in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
Logan Hunter, Jaxon Joseph, Conner Lukan and Stephen Wack were among the 16 people killed on April 6 when the junior hockey team's bus and a semi-trailer collided at a rural Saskatchewan intersection.
Each of the four had played minor hockey in the community northwest of Edmonton.
The deaths led to the establishment of the St. Albert Humboldt Remembrance Committee in mid-May.
The committee says it will honour the legacy of each young man by installing memory plaques on four benches in St. Albert.
They are also raising money for memorial scholarships named for the four players.
"The tragedy of the Humboldt Broncos has been felt very deeply here in St. Albert and across Canada," said Nolan Crouse, chairman of the committee. "We have supported one another as we collectively mourned, and now we plan to do something positive to honour the memories of these young men."
Another 13 players were injured in the crash.
