Benilde-St. Margaret's goes for hockey title tonight

Benilde-St. Margaret's plays for the Minnesota state high school boys' hockey title tonight after trouncing Lakeville South 10-1 last night at the Xcel Energey Center in a Class AA semifinal. The win means the players have a chance to bring home the championship trophy for their injured teammate, Jack Jablonski, who was paralyzed in December when he was checked from behind during a game. The emotional aftermath of Jablonski's injury appears to be giving his team an edge.

Many downtown Mpls restaurants OK with sales taxes for stadium

Jablonski cheers as Benilde-St. Margaret's beats Edina

The boys high school hockey tournament in St. Paul is down to four teams in the class 2A semi-finals. One team fans have been keeping an especially close eye on is Benilde-St. Margaret's. That's because one of the players - 16-year-old Jack Jablonski - was paralyzed after he was checked from behind during a game in December. Last night Benilde's Red Knights upset Edina 3-2. And Jablonski was there to cheer them on.
