Canada town gets new shock with dead player misidentified By JEREMY HAINSWORTH and ROB GILLIES Associated Press HUMBOLDT, Saskatch- ewan — Families and friends already stunned by the deaths of 15 players and team personnel for Humboldt’s youth hockey club got a new shock Monday when authori- ties announced that one of the dead had been misidentified. The Ministry of Justice for Saskatchewan province said the mistake occurred partly because all the Broncos players had dyed their hair blond for the team’s appear- ance in the playoffs and because all the young men had similar builds. The ministry said the body of Parker Tobin had been mistakenly identified as that of Xavier Labelle. It said Labelle was actually one of the 14 injured when the team bus was hit by a semitrailer truck Friday night. Drew Wilby, spokesman for the ministry, Wilby and the Office of the Chief Coroner apologized. “To find who they had thought was their loved one wasn’t their loved one I can’t even fathom,” Wilby said. “I don’t know enough could ever be said. All I could do is offer our sincerest apologies.” He said families had been involved in identifying the remains of the crash victims at a makeshift morgue and Prom and Tuxedo Rentals!

HWY 395, HERMISTON 541-567-4305 Mon-Sat 8am-6pm • Sun 12pm-5am www.cottagefl owersonline.com the error wasn’t discovered until Sunday night. “The new information came to light last night that raised questions with the health care professionals. In turn they were able to iden- tify Xavier Labelle as Xavier Labelle, who of course we had previously said was Parker Tobin,” Wilby said. “A lot of these boys looked alike.” Over the weekend, Tobin’s family had tweeted that their son was alive. “This is one of the hardest posts I have ever had to make. Parker is stable at the moment and being airlifted to Saskatoon hospital,” Rhonda Clarke Tobin wrote. Meanwhile, Xavier Labelle’s family had confirmed his death, with his brother Isaac writing in an Instagram post that he was heartbroken. “All I can say is miracles do exist. My deepest condo- lences to the Tobin family,” Isaac Labelle posted on Facebook on Monday. Matthew Labelle, a second cousin of Xavier, said that “it’s obviously been quite the roller coaster for our family.” Wesley All (Wes) was born July 13, 1944, in Lamar, Colo- rado, the son of John Dennis and Laura Olivia All.
