Greg Rider - Sixteen Sticks (Humboldt Tribute) - Official Music Video

On April 6, 2018, Sixteen people died, and 13 others were injured, after a bus taking the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team to a playoff game collided with a transport truck at a rural intersection in Saskatchewan. It was an awful day that devastated Canada and the hockey community. Greg Rider is a singer/songwriter from Waterdown, Ontario. He grew up playing hockey from age 4 to 18 when he decided to leave the sport and attend college. The song was written a week after the crash while Greg was living in Nashville, TN. He saw what happened that day on Facebook and the only way he could grasp what happened was by putting his feelings into a song. ’Sixteen Sticks’ was released to the world on December 18th, 2020 after gaining popularity on TikTok. Greg kept the song hidden for years after receiving some negative feedback when he first posted it. He took the song down and tucked it away. After connecting with a survivor years later, the player gave him his blessing and said “more people need to hear this“. T
