QUEENSVILLE, N.S. — A Nova Scotia boys hockey team was involved in a crash Saturday afternoon in Cape Breton.

RCMP say a bus carrying roughly 19 members of the Kings Mutual Valley Wildcats of the Nova Scotia Major Bantam Hockey League left the road Nov. 30 and landed on its side shortly after 2 p.m. in Queensville, Inverness County. 

The team was travelling from Berwick, N.S., to play a game in North Sydney against the Joneljim Cougars.

“There was only one injury among all the people on the bus, so one of the kids broke his arm and went to the hospital to be treated,” said Const. Chad Morrison. "Everybody else made out without any injury.”

Morrison said the cause of the crash is still investigation, but noted that roads were quite slippery at the time.
