SOUNDBITE: Susan Dunne, Humboldt resident PLACELINE: Humboldt, Sask. CREDIT: The Canadian Press STORYLINE: The stories of 15 lives taken when a bus carrying a junior hockey team crashed with a truck continued to emerge Sunday as the Saskatchewan town of Humboldt prepared a vigil to mourn those killed. Humboldt Broncos defencemen Adam Herold and Xavier Labelle, forwards Evan Thomas and Conner Lukan and assistant coach Mark Cross were confirmed as being among the dead. So was bus driver Glen Doerksen and statistics keeper Brody Hinz. Scott Thomas remembered his 18-year-old son as a strong athlete _ playing both hockey and baseball _ and a good student. But he was a teammate first. ``He liked sports, but at times I think he tolerated sports so he could be a teammate,'' said Thomas. ``He just loved being a teammate. He loved his teammates and I think that was more important to him than the actual sport he was playing. ``He loved those boys. He really loved those boys.''
