Survivor of Humboldt Broncos bus crash earns Paralympic quota spot for Canada in rowing

A survivor of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash has earned a Paralympic quota spot for Canada in rowing.

Rowing Canada said on social media that Jacob Wassermann secured the spot for Paris 2024 in an event known as PR1 men's single sculls.

Wassermann played goal for the Broncos.

He is one of 13 survivors of the deadly 2018 bus crash, which left him paralyzed.

Sixteen people were killed when the junior hockey team's bus collided with a semi truck at a rural intersection in Saskatchewan.
