A new Netflix series is in production, centered around a hockey team in South Dorothy, Minnesota, that faces tragedy after a bus crash kills several players and their coach. The storyline resonates deeply with Scott Thomas, whose son Evan was among the 16 victims of the real-life Humboldt Broncos bus crash in Saskatchewan in 2018. Thomas expressed concern over the potential for the series to trivialize their tragedy, emphasizing that he mourns his son daily. Critics have labeled the project as exploitative, while others note that fiction often draws from real-life events, sparking debate about the ethical portrayal of such sensitive topics.
