The broken hockey stick that had adorned the front porch of Shannon Harvey-Renner91裸聊视频檚 South Surrey home since early April would have been worthless to anybody else.

But, placed as a tribute following the horrific crash involving a busload of junior hockey team players, it was priceless to Harvey-Renner.

91裸聊视频淚t was a symbol of my respect,91裸聊视频� Harvey-Renner said Monday, hours after she discovered the stick 91裸聊视频� which she91裸聊视频檇 covered in green and yellow ribbons, the colours of the Humboldt Broncos 91裸聊视频� had been stolen.

91裸聊视频淥ut of respect for Humboldt and the tragedy they91裸聊视频檙e still dealing with.91裸聊视频�

Sixteen people 91裸聊视频� most of them junior hockey players, including Jaxon Joseph 91裸聊视频� died when a tractor-trailer collided with the Broncos91裸聊视频� bus on April 6, as the team headed toward a playoff game in Nipawin, Sask. Fourteen others were injured.

Harvey-Renner said she knew in the aftermath of the tragedy that she wanted to do something that felt meaningful, even though, while she used to watch her younger brother play hockey at White Rock91裸聊视频檚 Centennial Arena, she has no specific connection to the Humboldt team.

She chose the hockey-stick tribute after hearing about the #PutYourStickOut effort that caught on following one man91裸聊视频檚 text to a friend: a photo of a hockey stick by his front door, and the message, 91裸聊视频淟eaving it out on the porch tonight. The boys might need it91裸聊视频� wherever they are.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚 found it so moving,91裸聊视频� Harvey-Renner said, choking up at the memory. 91裸聊视频淚 just lost it 91裸聊视频� kind of like I91裸聊视频檓 losing it now.

91裸聊视频淎nd then somebody steals it.91裸聊视频�

Harvey-Renner said she got the stick, which had a broken blade, from a co-worker at the Township of Langley municipal hall. She took it home, wrapped it in the team-colour ribbons and put it on her porch, determined it would stay there for a full year.

It was stolen two months later, sometime between 10 p.m. Sunday and 6 a.m. Monday.

91裸聊视频淪eriously?91裸聊视频� Harvey-Renner said in disgust.

91裸聊视频淢y eyes started to well up. That91裸聊视频檚 not funny. That91裸聊视频檚 totally disrespectful.91裸聊视频�

Harvey-Renner said she isn91裸聊视频檛 going to call police 91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a broken hockey stick,91裸聊视频� she said 91裸聊视频� but is hopeful whoever took the stick will see the error of the act and put the stick back where they found it.

If not, she will replace it herself. But the sting of the theft won91裸聊视频檛 soon fade.

91裸聊视频淚 find it upsetting,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 something like that, you just hope for the best in people. This was not the best in people.91裸聊视频�
