About Jack Jablonski & Jabby13.com
One Day in the Life of Jabby
Jack Jablonski is known as Jabby or Jabs to his friends. He is a gifted young varsity hockey player at Benilde St. Margarets high school (St. Louis Park, Minnesota). He is also a varsity tennis player and has played baseball his whole life. His favorite hockey player is Pavol Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings, #13. He was a 50 goal/110 point scoring forward on the 2011 Minnesota Bantam A state tournament Minneapolis/Park Storm. He is a big brother to Max and a son to Mike and Leslie. He is a friend to many.
And he is an inspiration to a whole community.
On December 30, 2011 Jack was involved in a tragic hockey accident. As he was in pursuit of a loose puck shot deep into the offensive zone, Jack was checked and careened into the boards head first. In a matter of seconds, Jack’s life was dramatically altered.
Jack suffered a serious spinal cord injury and broke two vertebrae while playing the game he loves. Though undergoing successful surgery to fuse three vertebrae to protect the spinal cord from further injury, the cord was severed in the accident causing pervasive paralysis.
That is just the beginning of a new journey for Jack. His family and friends are with him as they always have been and always will be. The community response to Jack’s accident renews our faith in the kindness of people. The determination that Jack shows every day encourages us all to do more.
Jack has many more gifts to share with the world in his future By donating to the Jack Jablonski Fund you help us assure that Jack will have the resources to meet his full potential in his life.
We appreciate the love and support you have given Jack and the Jablonski family.
