High School Hockey Player Suffers Spinal Cord Injury

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The hockey community is coming together, praying a young player can recover from a serious injury he suffered Friday on the ice.

Jack Jablonski is a sophomore at Benilde-St. Margaret, and he got checked into the boards from behind during a tournament, his coach said.

Doctors say the incident likely severely bruised his spinal cord. He's been in the hospital since.

According to his Caring Bridge site, doctors will have to wait until the swelling goes down to know how to best treat him.
