A.J. Quetta attended the graduation ceremony for Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro on Friday and received a huge ovation as he received his diploma in a wheelchair.
The 18-year-old North Providence, Rhode Island senior crashed headfirst into the boards during a game against Pope Francis Prep in West Springfield on Jan. 26.
Quetta was rushed to a local hospital before being transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and then the Shepherd Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta, where he spent more than three months recuperating, WCVB-TV reports.
He’s continuing his rehab at Journey Forward in Canton, Massachusetts and was recently feted by the Boston Bruin’s as their honorary banner captain during the opening game of their second-round playoff series against the New York Islanders at TD Garden.
