Isn't the point that almost a week after the Jablonski tragedy ...nothing has changed?
This is the problem. People really don't give a sh*t as you can see by comments like that. "Over reacted"
What is supposed to change?? It was an accident with no intent to injure, unfortunately it is one of the risks of playing. How different would the situation be if a player lost an edge and the same outcome from hitting boards was the case? Driving a car is still one of the most dangerous things we do everyday, yet we still do it and even let our 16 years olds take the car.
How much can we change with out going nuts or doing too little? Lets support the family and be THANKFUL, very THANKFUL that this isn't a common place injury in hockey. How many times have you seen an incident involving checking from behind?? Lets just SUPPORT the Family and the community and stop getting on the forum and bash every call made or not made from here on out!

St. Croix Lutheran Hockey Player Hospitalized After Serious Injury
St. Croix Lutheran senior Jenna Privette suffered a serious injury in her team’s girls hockey game Friday night against the St. Paul Blades. Privette reportedly went hard into the boards by the Zamboni doors late in the third period of the game after taking a shot on goal. Privette lost feeling in most of her body immediately after the injury, according to coach Carl Lemke.
Privette’s father, Dan Privette, told WCCO-TV she was checked from behind before hitting the boards. Minnesota State High School League rules prohibit checking of any kind in girls hockey. Dan Privette said he was standing right in front of where the hit happened on the other side of the glass and is upset because no penalty was called on the play.
Privette was taken off the ice by an ambulance to a local hospital and Lemke said she lost feeling over most of her body. The game, which the St. Paul Blades were leading 4-3 at the time, will have to be finished at a later date.
The teams met at center after she was taken off the ice for a prayer. Privette had just returned to game action after having to sit out earlier games because of a concussion suffered during their softball season last spring.
Lemke told WCCO-TV that Privette re-injured a back injury that had kept her out of competition until December. Lemke said immediately after the injury she had no feeling over most parts of her body. Feeling returned to her left hand at about 3 a.m. Saturday and to her right hand at about 7 a.m. Privette’s father said she has suffered a spinal cord injury.
Lemke said a team of doctors will be meeting Saturday to determine the next course of treatment for Privette’s symptoms. He said a three-hour MRI performed Saturday showed no broken bones or spinal column. It is unclear if Privette will suffer long-term paralysis from the injury.
Jenna Privette is at Hennepin County Medical Center being treated, but her condition is not known at this time.

I have no problem all 10 kids were sent off the ice. The kid that hit the kid should get more games and unfortunately the kid that got hit should get more games.
