The Red Knights beat the Trojans on Monday, 4-3.
Benilde-St. Margaret's scored four goals in the second period and held on in the third for a road win over Section 6AA rival Wayzata on Monday, 4-3. The game was originally set for Jan. 5, but it was rescheduled in the wake of the injury to BSM sophomore Jack Jablonski. Jablonski was paralyzed by a hit he took in a junior varsity game against Wayzata on Dec. 30. Coaches decided to postpone the Jan. 5 game after they deemed players weren't emotionally ready to return to the ice. BSM head coach Ken Pauly said he didn't think that backdrop played much of a role in Monday's outcome. "This was about two Section 6AA rivals playing," he said. The Red Knights (No. 8 in Class AA) and Wayzata (No. 9) are certainly two of the better teams in the …

The Jack Jablonski Junior Bronze Pond Tournament was held Sunday as part of the annual Hockey Blast weekend.
Max Jablonski rides shotgun in a dune buggy filled to its five-person capacity with kids from Benilde-St. Margaret’s. He wears a white hockey jersey tattooed with dozens of signatures as he and his pals putter around Excelsior Bay. On rinks nearby pond hockey games are being played in honor of his older brother, Jack—who was paralyzed last month during a junior varsity hockey game. “My brother is doing alright,” Max said. “He’s really touched and motivated by all the support.” In the driver’s seat next to Max is 15-year-old Mario Zattoni—one of the organizers of Sunday’s Jack Jablonski Junior Bronze Pond Tournament on Lake Minnetonka. Planning for the fundraiser began soon after Jablonski was injured Dec. 30 during a game against Wayzata, …

Tickets already purchased will be honored, according to the Hockey Day Minnesota website.

The JV and Varsity boy's hockey games against Benilde-St. Margaret were cancelled because of bad injury for one BSM player and his teammates not being ready to play yet.
Wayzata High School's match up against Benilde-St.Margaret's varsity and junior varsity boys hockey games for Thursday were cancelled, as BSM school officials didn't feel its players were ready to take the ice after teammate Jack Jablonski was seriously injured during the last game. Jablonski, a 16-year-old sophomore, was paralyzed by a hit he took in a junior varsity game against Wayzata on Dec. 30. He underwent surgery Wednesday at the Hennepin County Medical Center and is not expected to walk again. Ric Lager, a parent of a BSM junior varsity player, said there was a team and parent meeting Wednesday afternoon and they decided that players are not yet emotionally ready to take the ice. Initially, the BSM varsity game was scheduled to go…
