'We'll always be together': Humboldt Broncos player sees survival as 2nd chance to help the world
https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4616044?__twitter_impression=true"SNIP.......
Straschnitzki views his survival as a second chance from God, an opportunity to do his part to improve the world in whatever way he can.
Hockey is the obvious answer, he said, adding that he has expressed an interest in continuing his sports career in sledge hockey. Becoming a public speaker is another potential avenue.
Right now, all Straschnitzki is thinking about are his teammates.
"We're not alone here. I mean the teammates that we lost, our bond is so strong that we'll always be together."

He gave a great interview (recorded clip at story). And did it all less than a week after breaking his back and finding out he'll likely never walk again.
