The AAA Prince Albert Mintos held a special ceremony on Sunday afternoon to honour Layne Matechuk, a survivor of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.
Matechuk was presented with a personalized bronze hockey stick before the team’s game against the Notre Dame Hounds. He played with the Mintos for two seasons from 2014 to 2016. The stick says “Once a Minto, Always a Minto” on the blade.
“It feels great to be back. We have a lot of great memories here in this building and it’s just heartwarming to come back,” said Matechuk.
The stick was created by a Thomas Shultz, a Nipawin bronze sculptor and fire fighter who was at the scene the night of the crash.
