A Humboldt Bronco left permanently injured after the team’s April 6 bus crash is back on skates.
Matechuk got out of hospital in October and has been working on rehabilitation ever since.
Kevin Matechuk, Layne’s father, posted a pair of videos to Twitter on Tuesday showing his son taking his first strides on skates at a rink near his hometown of Colonsay.
After 9 months @LayneMatechuk returned to the rink to skate for the first time since the accident. Thank you Greg Slobosian for helping Layne. Could not be more proud of Layne! #Believepic.twitter.com/iD8gADwvXa
