Those who attend will also be able to sign a banner with their condolences, which will be sent to Humboldt.

Ryan Starr, public relations and communications manager with the Knights, says they want to show the Humboldt community that London is with them.

“I was looking on Twitter and Facebook, and so many of my friends and people in the hockey community sharing their sticks, and a photo of what they’ve done the last couple days,” said Starr.

“I thought that was great, but then I got home and I saw that one of my neighbours put a stick out on their front porch, and that’s when it really hit me.”

The Knights will also be accepting donations at the event. The team will donate $5,000 in support of the Broncos.

Starr says people should arrive around 5 p.m. for the picture.

Knights Fans, wear your jerseys and join us tomorrow at 5:30pm at the Covent Garden Market Square (rain or shine) as we take a photo to show that the City of London stands with Humboldt and the Broncos. #HumboldtStrong #PrayersForHumboldt #WeAreAllBroncos pic.twitter.com/dICuQ1mcbf — London Knights (@GoLondonKnights) April 12, 2018
