| The site of the Broncos Memorial Monument, just as work was about to begin earlier this year. |
It will be a day to remember in Swift Current on Dec. 30 as people there unveil a monument in memory of the four players killed in the crash of the Broncos’ bus on Dec. 30, 1986. The accident claimed the lives of Chris Mantyka, Trent Kresse, Scott Kruger and Brent Ruff.
The monument is located just east of Swift Current, where the accident occurred. It actually was put into place this week but will remain covered until Dec. 30.
The unveiling, which will involve family of the four players, along with Broncos’ alumni, this season’s team and various VIPs, will be open to the public. It is being held in conjunction with the team’s Hall of Fame Game that is scheduled for later that evening.
There is more about the monument’s unveiling, including the day’s itinerary, on a Facebook site that is right here.
There also is a gofundme page right here.
