'Beyond the crash': TV series on paralyzed Humboldt Bronco player set to air

Ryan Straschnitzki, a 26-year-old from Airdrie, Alberta, suffered paralysis below the chest after being involved in a 2018 bus accident in rural Saskatchewan with the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team.
The accident happened after a semi-trailer failed to obey a stop sign and crashed into the junior hockey team’s bus, resulting in sixteen fatalities and thirteen injuries.
For eight months, a film crew from Regina’s Prairie Cat Productions documented Straschnitzki’s story, resulting in a six-episode series titled "We Were Broncos," which will premiere on Accessible Media Inc. Starting May 26.
Straschnitzki said, "By the end of the season I was a lot more confident in myself," as he pursues wheelchair basketball aiming for the 2028 Paralympic team while promoting the series in Toronto.
The series aims to open eyes to Straschnitzki's life beyond the crash, highlighting his charity work and Paralympic goals, with hopes for a second season from both Straschnitzki and producer Frison.
