Matechuk honoured by Mintos, Ozar scores hat trick
Prince Albert Mintos captain Alex Ozar may have scored a hat trick in the Mintos’ 5-2 victory over the Notre Dame Hounds, but he still wasn’t the happiest person in the Art Hauser Centre on Sunday afternoon.
That distinction undoubtedly belonged to Mintos alumnus Layne Matechuk.
Matechuk didn’t stop smiling during the Mintos’ pre-game ceremony in his honour. He played for the Mintos for two full seasons from 2015-17.
After being one of the survivors of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash on April 6, Matechuk was in hospital for six months following the accident, including spending a month in a coma.
