Publisher's Summary

An inspiring story of hope and resiliency

On April 6, 2018, sixteen people died and thirteen others were injured after a bus taking the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team to a playoff game collided with a transport truck in a rural intersection. The tragedy moved millions of people to leave hockey sticks by their front door to show sympathy and support for the Broncos. People from more than eighty countries pledged millions of dollars to families whose relatives had been directly involved in the accident.

Crossroads is the story of Kaleb Dahlgren, a young man who survived the bus crash and faced life after the tragedy with resiliency and positivity. In this chronicle of his time with the Broncos and the loving community of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Dahlgren takes a hard look at his experience of unprecedented loss, but also revels in the overwhelming response and outpouring of love from across Canada and around the world. But this book also goes much deeper, revealing the adversity Dahlgren faced long before his time in Humboldt and his inspiring journey since the accident.

From a childhood spent learning to live with type 1 diabetes to his remarkable recovery from severe brain trauma that astounded medical professionals, Dahlgren documents a life of perseverance, gratitude and hope in the wake of enormous obstacles and life-altering tragedy.

Hockey addicts will like

I found this story recently and was intrigued. It was a build-up until the actual accident. it's a story of his life, and he had more than just a tragedy to tell. He's such a positive person and inspiring. There are some parts that I was less interested in but overall well written.

unbelievable, true miracle, heartbreaking

Kaleb has done a very good job telling his story. He keeps you wanting to go on to the next chapter all the way through. He doesn't hold back and let's the audience know the true impact of that day and shares how he has chosen to deal with such a tragedy, such a huge loss and his injuries. His story is inspirational as is he.

Touched my heart

This book touched my heart. Being a mom of 5 boys that have played and are still playing hockey and also a billet mom of Nipawin Hawks players for over 10 years that weekend really shook me. Having travelled the weekend prior with the same bus driver to La Ronge and Melfort with my boys for hockey I truly am grateful for all the gifts this life has to offer and the limited time we have. Thank you for your words it has helped me try to process that weekend.
