In an incident eerily similar to one that left a Benilde-St. Margaret's hockey player hospitalized, Jenna Privette was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center after an illegal check from behind left her unable to move.

Lakeville Patch says the family of Jenna Privette is hopeful after doctors said her injury is "somewhat like a concussion to her spine." Privette was hurt and lost feeling in her legs after she was checked from behind during a hockey game.

The Minnesota Hockey Board on Monday approved more severe penalties for youth hockey players who engage in risky moves like checking from behind and boarding. The rule changes come after a check from behind left Benilde-St. Margaret's hockey player Jack Jablonski paralyzed.

Jenna Privette was injured two weeks ago during a high school hockey game. The Pioneer Press reports she is now at a rehabilitation center. The high school senior is expected to make a full recovery, however a Privette family Facebook page, last updated on Thursday, says Jenna was still unable to move her legs.

Minnesota Hockey's board of directors is expected to vote Sunday whether to drop the tougher penalty structure that added more minutes for the most dangerous illegal hits. The rules were adopted soon after Jack Jablonski of Benilde-St. Margaret's was paralyzed by a check from behind. The Star Tribune reports the recommendation to undo the changes at the youth level stems from concerns the stiffer penalties take players off the ice for too long and hampers their ability to learn.

A student at Benilde-St. Margaret's who suffered a paralyzing injury during a hockey game is having surgery on Wednesday morning. Doctors will fuse together Jack Jablonski's damaged vertebrae.

Doctors say it's too early to tell how bad the lasting damage will be to Jack Jablonski, a Benilde-St. Margaret sophomore who suffered a severe spinal injury during a hockey game.

High school sophomore Jack Jablonski is set to undergo surgery on his spine later this week. The 16-year-old was severely injured in a hockey game this past weekend. According to media reports, doctors say it's too soon to know if he'll regain control of his arms and legs.
