About Kaleb Dahlgren
Kaleb’s life was forever changed while on route to a playoff game in the town of Nipawin. The Humboldt Broncos’ team bus was involved in a horrific bus crash with a semi-trailer truck that resulted in 16 deaths and 13 players left in critical condition.

As a survivor of the crash, Kaleb suffered extensive injuries including a traumatic brain injury, fractured skull, fractures in his neck and back, blood clotting, and much more.

Being a fighter all his life, Kaleb was driven to return to hockey and was determined to continue making an impact on and within his community. Today, alongside his studies and focus on returning to hockey, Kaleb is supporting various charities and sharing his message of hope and healing. Kaleb was awarded over 10 awards for his community and team commitments, and he knows what it takes to build community through volunteerism and leadership.

In this exclusive virtual event for our AC community, come share in Kaleb’s story and have the opportunity to connect and ask questions. Let’s get inspired!
