Humboldt Broncos defenseman Layne Matechuk laced up his skates for the first time since the tragic bus crash that took the lives of 13 of his teammates, as well as 3 Broncos staff members, while they were on their way to a playoff game in Nipawin, Saskatchewan on April 6, 2018.

The 18-year-old suffered extensive injuries and spent months in the hospital before being released on October 5, 2018. He was left with a brain injury that affects his speech and movement on the right side of his body, but by the looks of this heartwarming video that his father shared on Twitter Tuesday, he seems to be well on his way down the road to recovery.
“After 9 months, @LayneMatechuk returned to the rink to skate for the first time since the accident,” his father wrote in the post. “Thank you Greg Slobosian for helping Layne. Could not be more proud of Layne! #Believe”

As of September, Layne was still struggling to regain his speech and mobility, so it’s truly amazing to see that just a few months later, he’s back on the ice doing what he loves.

What’s even more inspiring is that Matechuk is just one of the surviving players that have made a return to hockey. Brayden Camrud and Derek Patter both suited up for the Broncos emotional season opener back in September. Another one of their teammates, Kaleb Dahlgren, signed with Toronto’s York University hockey team for the 2018/19 season.

Ryan Straschnitzki and Jacob Wasserman, who were both paralyzed in the crash, made their come backs as well. The young men played in a charity sledge hockey game in November, and the two reunited teammates shared a special moment together.

Along with Matechuk’s return to the ice on Tuesday, we got some more news out of Humboldt. Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the truck driver responsible for the crash involving the junior hockey team, pleaded guilty to all 29 counts of dangerous driving. Filled with unimaginable remorse already, Sidhu felt like he’d already caused enough harm to the families involved, and did not want to drag them through what could have been a lengthy court process.

Scott Thomas, whose son Evan was one of the players killed in the crash, was present in court and said that the guilty plea finally brings him some much-needed closure.
“When he said guilty, I had my closure. If he spends a day, if he spends 10 years (in jail), time is irrelevant. He was guilty, he acknowledged that. That’s all I needed to hear. The rest of the sentence doesn’t matter to me. It’s not going to bring Evan back.”

Former NHLer Chris Joseph’s son Jaxon was another one of the Broncos who lost his life that day. In an interview following the announcement, he said, “I don’t want to speak for all the families, but I think we’re grateful that he chose not to drag it out. I think there’s maybe a little bit of respect, I don’t even know if that’s the right word, but maybe a little bit of respect that the remorse he felt made him want to just plead guilty.”

Obviously, Sidhu is guilty of these crimes, some very devastating ones at that, and he deserves to pay for what he did. But in Canada, dangerous driving causing death carries a maximum sentence of 14 years, 10 years for dangerous driving causing bodily harm, so he’s potentially facing life in prison. The fact that he gave up his right to trial and is ready to face his fate head-on has got to say something about the man’s character and the guilt that he feels.
“He’s overwhelmed by the expressions of sympathy and kindness some of the families and players have expressed to him in spite of the fact their grief is his fault, and he’s very sorry for that,” his lawyer said outside of court.
Here’s the inspirational video of Layne Matechuk’s first time back on the ice.

Congratulations Layne, and the rest of his Humboldt Broncos teammates! The hockey world is happy to see you boys back out there, and we’re all still #HumboldtStrong.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
