Humboldt Broncos forward Nick Shumlanski joining UPEI Panthers this fall
The 21-year-old Tisdale, Sask., native has committed to the UPEI Panthers.
Nick Shumlanski's life changed forever on April 6.
The Humboldt Broncos forward was on the team's bus when it collided with a tractor-trailer at an intersection in rural Saskatchewan.
Sixteen people on the bus were killed and 13 players were injured.
There are things Shumlanski won't speak publicly about, keeping those conversations for family and friends.
"It's something that changes you forever. It's definitely something that's always going to be a part of me," he said Friday. "It was one of the closest teams that I've ever played on. I hear a lot of the guys say that you have to kind of carry on their destiny and I feel like that's something that I am doing as well. I still want to play hockey and do it for the boys as well."
Shumlanski will get that opportunity in Charlottetown this fall.
