Message from Kevin Rempel, who fought to walk again, gives insights into the road ahead after traumatic injury
Kevin Rempel looks directly into the video camera set up on the table in his Toronto condominium, periodically choking back tears as he speaks to a group of young hockey players he has never met, but with whom he feels a connection.
Rempel, 35, is a former Paralympian who played para ice hockey — commonly called sledge hockey — for Team Canada. Like many Canadians, he was devastated by the news of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in Saskatchewan last Friday that has left 16 people dead and 13 injured.
