TLDR

A new Netflix series set in a working-class town where hockey is everything, until a bus crash kills players and their coach, has raised eyebrows in Saskatchewan due to its similarity to the Humboldt Broncos' tragedy. The plot has hit a nerve for Scott Thomas, whose son was one of the 16 people who died in the crash. Netflix has not confirmed if the series is inspired by the Broncos, but the resemblance of the plot has led to questions about the appropriateness of turning such a tragedy into a fictional story.
