A 20-year-old hockey player injured in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash last April is following one of his teammates to an Ontario university.

Matthieu Gomercic has signed with the Ridgebacks at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa.

"I'm very excited to join the Ridgebacks this upcoming season," Gomeric said in a news release. 

"Playing university hockey is a goal that I set for myself and UOIT is now giving me the opportunity to fulfill both my hockey and academic goals."

Former Bronco Bryce Fiske also signed with the team last month.
