Jun 21, 2018 | 10:45 AM

The NHL awards in Las Vegas Wednesday night became a reunion of sorts for the survivors of the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy.

Ten of the 13 people injured in the April 6 crash gathered on stage in their Humboldt Broncos jerseys.

After a video about the crash and their recovery played the Broncos fallen coach, Darcy Haugen became the first recipient of the Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award.

His widow Christina Haugan accepted the award on his behalf.
