The statement says his leg is “pretty good” but tremors persist in his right hand.

The last update came in late June when the family said Matechuk had been in a coma for a month and didn’t seem to remember the crash.

In the statement released Tuesday, the family said Matechuk “is still not fully aware of all that has happened with the accident, but is getting closer to being able to deal with it.”

The Matechuks also expressed thanks to medical staff, first responders and air ambulance workers for their “pivotal role” in helping everyone involved in the tragedy.

The statement came on the same day the Broncos announced their home opener next Wednesday against the Nipawin Hawks is sold out.

The Broncos were on their way to a Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoff game against Nipawin when the crash occurred April 6.

The driver of the transport truck, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, was not injured. He is charged with 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death and 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily injury.

He is next to appear in court in Melfort, Sask., on Oct. 2.

RCMP have not released details of their investigation other than to say the truck was in the intersection at the time the two vehicles collided.
