Hey there, time traveller!

The coach of the Sanford Sabres high school girls hockey team was identified as the man killed in a single-vehicle collision Wednesday morning in the RM of Macdonald.
Kelly Kabernick, 44, died after he lost control of his pickup truck and it rolled over at about 7:30 a.m. on municipal Road 44 Northeast, roughly five kilometres southwest of La Salle.
He was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle, RCMP said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kabernick, a grain farmer in the area south of Winnipeg, started coaching the Sanford Sabres this year. He has twin daughters on the Sanford Collegiate high school team.
A coach of a high school hockey team is not required to be a teacher, so long as someone among the team’s management is affiliated with the school.
“He was a valued member of the hockey community,” said Carrie Snelling, president of the Winnipeg Women’s High School Hockey League. “We send all our condolences to the family, the community and the team.
“With his daughters playing, it’s definitely tough on the team,” she said, adding many of the coaches in the league are parents.
Snelling said league officials are planning to memorialize Kabernick, but haven’t yet decided in what manner.
All Sanford boys and girls hockey games have been canceled this week.
Kabernick farmed 3,200 acres near Sanford (12 km southwest of Winnipeg) with his wife, Christine, and five children.
Officers from the Headingley RCMP detachment along with a RCMP forensic collision reconstructionist continue to investigate.
