Humboldt's Graysen Cameron commits to Northland College

Humboldt Broncos captain Graysen Cameron has committed to Division III Northland College, he announced Sunday.

Cameron's announcement comes just two years after he suffered a broken back during the tragic 2018 Humboldt Broncos bus crash in which 16 people died.

"I'm proud to announce my commitment to Northland College," Cameron tweeted. "Thanks to all my coaches, trainers, teammates, friends, the Humboldt Broncos, and most importantly all my family for helping me over the last year and a half get back on the ice and play ... Dream come true."

The 20-year-old forward finished with five goals and 13 points through 46 games for the Broncos in the SJHL this season. Cameron's efforts helped the club secure a playoff berth before it ultimately fell to the top-ranked Flin Flon Bombers.

"His perseverance speaks for itself," Northland head coach and athletic director Seamus Gregory said, according to Discover Humboldt's Rory McGouran.

He added: "Having had a great relationship with (former Broncos head coach Darcy Haugan) and growing friendship with (current head coach Scott Barney), we know the character men they have and want in their locker room, and Graysen is one of those exemplary human beings."

The Broncos organization retired Cameron's No. 9 in the rafters of the Elgar Peterson Arena.
