BOSTON – A high school senior in Massachusetts who was paralyzed during a hockey game took a big step Friday during his graduation.
During a youth hockey game, Jake collided with another player, hit the boards and dropped to the ice, leaving him with two broken bones in his back and paralyzed from the waist down.By February, Jake was crawling, pushing through hours of grueling physical therapy nearly every day. “We kind of realized that he wouldn’t necessarily be able to walk under his own power, but he was still determined, in his words, to be vertical,” Mike Thibeault, Jake’s father, said.
