In an update last week, Hurricanes GM Peter Anholt said the men were all sitting on a bench together when the incident happened.
RCMP said the men were injured when “a substance was placed into a fire pit that caused an explosion.” Mounties said alcohol was being consumed at the party but they do not believe it was a factor in the explosion.
