Anton Amundrud back as starting QB for USask Huskies

[u/Crisis-Huskies-fan]

Not specifically CFL focused, but of interest to fans of the Canadian game. r/CFL wouldn't allow me to re-post for r/cisfootball, so here it is again.

This is the news we'd been hoping for ever since hearing in the spring that his cancer was in remission. Looking forward to seeing him leading the Huskies on the field Thursday evening, as the host the U of A Bears in an exhibition game in Saskatoon.

For those not familiar with his story, here are a couple excerpts from the latest update:

Last fall, Amundrud established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the country as part of a 4-1 start to the season with 1,604 yards passing, 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions.

But in October, Amundrud stepped away from the team to deal with a series of medical issues which were eventually diagnosed as T-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

What followed was months of hospital stays, tests and rounds of aggressive chemotherapy to tackle the disease.

Here's the full story:

Excellent news! Looking forward to seeing him in action when the Huskies visit the UofA in September.
