We Were Broncos

Humboldt Broncos bus crash survivor Ryan Straschnitzki tries to narrow down which parasport will give him his best chance at making Team Canada for the Paralympics.

Ryan focuses on wheelchair basketball, with a goal of competing at the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles, but his club team struggles to be competitive; Ryan is given a video coach opportunity in a different parasport: sledge hockey.

Ryan attends a Calgary Flames tribute game for NHL player Johnny Gaudreau and reflects on how it reminds him of Humboldt. Ryan also plays in his first wheelchair basketball tournament of the season and struggles with limited playing time.

Ryan returns to Humboldt for the first time in years with fellow survivor Tyler Smith. They reflect on positive memories from their time in Humboldt but relive the bus crash that changed their lives.

Ryan's wheelchair basketball team continues to struggle with consistency; he seeks advice from former Paralympian Chris Cederstrand about his parasport journey, and if an opportunity with the sledge hockey team is a good idea.

Ryan plays in the national CWBL tournament, hoping to impress national team scouts; Ryan also shadows national sledge hockey video coaches in Calgary and must decide between pursuing it or to focus exclusively on basketball.
