The memorial is to take place at Rogers Place, home ice for the Edmonton Oilers of the NHL.

A memorial is to be held today for four players with the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team who called the Edmonton area home.

Jaxon Joseph of Edmonton, Parker Tobin of Stony Plain, Logan Hunter and Stephen Wack - both of St. Albert - were among 16 people who died after a transport truck and the Saskatchewan team's bus collided on April 6.

The Broncos were travelling to a playoff game when the crash occurred at a rural Saskatchewan intersection.

10 funerals have already been held for crash victims in communities across Saskatchewan and Alberta.

The memorial is to take place at Rogers Place, home ice for the Edmonton Oilers of the NHL.

Joseph's father, Chris Joseph, was a defenceman with several NHL teams, including the Oilers.
