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

Ryan Straschnitzki, a 26-year-old from Airdrie, Alberta, was paralyzed in the 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash in rural Saskatchewan that killed sixteen people and injured thirteen.
The crash occurred after a semi-trailer failed to obey a stop sign and struck the bus carrying the junior hockey team, leading a film crew to document Straschnitzki’s recovery over an eight-month period.
Regina-Based Prairie Cat Productions spent eight months filming Straschnitzki’s story, resulting in a six-episode series titled We Were Broncos, which will premiere on Accessible Media Inc. On May 26, 2025.
Straschnitzki, who has been playing wheelchair basketball and attended Team Canada’s camp in July 2023, shared that over the course of the season, his self-confidence grew and he came to understand that with dedication and effort, he can achieve his goals.
Both Straschnitzki and producer Frison hope the series will have a second season and said it will open eyes to his life beyond the crash and his pursuit of the 2028 Paralympics.
