The vigil will be held at the arena in Humboldt instead of Game 6 of the team's playoff series against the Nipawin Hawks. In the meantime, no decisions have been made regarding the continuation of the playoff schedule.
"We are going to do what we think is right," stated Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League president Bill Chow.
RCMP assistant commissioner Curtis Zablocki also spoke at the press conference, nothing that a full-scale investigation into the crash is underway.
"It's too early to comment on the cause of the collision and we will continue to provide updates," Zablocki said, according to Colette Derworiz of the Canadian Press.
Some patients are still in critical condition, the RCMP confirmed. Zablocki added that the lone driver of the transport truck was not injured in the crash and, after being originally detained by police, he has since been released and provided with mental health assistance.
In wake of the tragedy, a GoFundMe page was set up to raise money for the families impacted by the crash. In under 17 hours, it had already raised over $1 million.
