Love and Hockey. This is not a book - it is reality. Please share and retweet this #hockeyheaven

If you know about the two tragedies that have recently happened up here in Canada then this will make sense. As a people - we are grieving.

Canadians have a thing for hockey. It is part of our national pride.

A young man - Jonathon Pitre - loved hockey but was too sick to play. He was known as the Butterfly Boy - Google it. Sad story. He lost his fight against a terrible disease and died too young and without the chance to play the sport he loved.

15 members of the Humboldt Broncos were tragically killed in a bus accident - 1/2 of the team died. The survivors are recuperating - some will be paralyzed for life.

When I set this post up - we have not learned who drew this fabulous picture. As a country we would like to thank the artist. This picture portrays our deepest wish.

But now the person has been discovered - From an article in the Ottawa Citizen -
 Kerry MacGregor of Kanata, who lives near Nice, France, said she was the one who posted a cartoon of Humboldt Broncos players in heaven, reaching out to Jonathan Pitre.

“Hey, you play?” one of the Broncos says to Jonathan in the drawing.

Pitre, 17, of Russell, died last week of complications related to his treatment for epidermolysis bullosa (EB).

Two days later, 15 people died in a bus/truck crash in Saskatchewan. The bus was carrying the Broncos junior hockey team to a scheduled playoff game in northeastern Saskatchewan.

MacGregor’s illustration captures an uplifting idea — Jonathan, who was unable to play hockey due to his horrible skin disease, jumping onto a heavenly sheet of ice with members of the fallen Broncos.

Boys - sticks on the ice. #hockeyheaven
