Another company statement described Hinz as an intern still in high school.

The night of the crash marked a double tragedy for HinzB次元官网网址檚 family. A relative said on Facebook that another family member lost a baby boy in Humboldt hospital shortly after being born.

Over stacks of pancakes topped with whipped cream, people spoke about how much the team means to the community. One woman brought money she said was donated by family members in Alberta.

It was decided that all funds from the breakfast would go to the Broncos.
