The death toll from the bus crash involving a Saskatchewan junior hockey team bus has risen to 15, a day after the tragedy impacting players, personnel and others with the Humboldt Broncos.

The RCMP said the 15th person died Saturday after the crash involving the bus, which was carrying 29 people including the driver, and a semi-trailer. Another 14 people were injured — some critically — in the collision about 30 kilometres north of Tisdale, Sask. 

The president of the Broncos, of the Saskatchewan Major Junior Hockey League, fought back tears Saturday as he described being "heartbroken and completely devastated" by the crash.

"These young men have had a significant impact, on our homes, on our families, on our children," said Kevin Garinger at a news conference attended by about 200 people in Humboldt.

The team includes 24 players, all from Western Canada, ranging in age from 16 to 21.  

Head coach Darcy Haugan was one of the victims.Broncos captain Logan Schatz, 20, and teammates Adam Herold, 16, Jaxon Joseph, 20, and Stephen Wack, 21, were also killed, along with Tyler Bieber, a play-by-play announcer who worked with Humboldt radio station 107.5 Bolt FM.
