Investigation indicates speed as a factor in a crash that killed three teenage hockey players in Surrey

Mounties say their initial investigation shows speed was a factor in a crash that killed three teenage hockey players in Surrey, B.C.

In a news release, police say investigators have found that the car was travelling at a speed ``significantly greater'' than the posted limit.

Emergency services personnel were called out early Saturday after a car hit a tree.

Officials have said all three of the car's occupants died at the scene.

The NHL and hockey teams, including the Humboldt Broncos, offered their condolences to the families of the three junior players.

The league identified the players in a social media post as Caleb Reimer, Ronin Sharma and Parker Magnuson.
