On Monday afternoon residents of the Battlefords are being encouraged to pay their respects to the family of Colby Cave.

The Edmonton Oilers forward died Saturday after suffering a brain bleed earlier in the week. In a post on the Battlefords North Stars website, on Monday at 3:30pm friends of the family are asking people who wish to pay their respects to form a line of vehicles on the shoulder westbound of highway 16 starting at Redhead Equipment and Ritchie Bro’s Auctions.

People are urged to come out and wear their hockey jerseys or hold signs in support of the Cave family – Al, Jennifer, Taylor and other family members as they return from Toronto. RCMP and the North Battleford and Battleford fire departments will lead the family from that point across the bridges to the Kramer Cat building in Battleford, from which they will head home.
