Humboldt team bus crash brings back memories of 1974 Quebec tragedy

MONTREAL — The deadly Saskatchewan crash between a semi-trailer and bus carrying a junior hockey team brought back painful memories of another tragic accident that happened in Quebec in 1974, according to a former junior hockey team owner.

Nineteen-year old Gaetan Paradis was killed when a bus carrying the Sherbrooke Castors crashed nearly 50 kilometres outside of Chicoutimi, Que.

Another 29 people were severely injured when the bus flipped over due to treacherous road conditions.

Former Castors co-owner Georges Guilbault said the former players still talk about what happened to Paradis, more than 40 years later.
