Crossroads: My Story of Tragedy and Resilience as a Humboldt Bronco by Kaleb Dahlgren

4.0

3.5 rounded up. I enjoyed this memoir by Kaleb Dahlgren - survivor of the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus accident in 2018. A great look at a tight-knit, small town hockey community and the players and staff who lost their lives. It’s amazing that Kaleb survived, unfortunately he wasn’t able to realize his dream of playing competitive hockey again afterwards. He continues to do great work for Diabete awareness (he was diagnosed with Type 1 as a young child and he goes into the challenges of living with the disease very well) and he was able to go to York university and is involved supporting the university hockey team in various ways. An inspiring young man with a bright future. I didn’t know much about this story other than what was in the headlines at the time but Kaleb has turned his tragedy into positives and written a lovely book celebrating the teammates he lost.
