Jack Jablonski will lead world’s largest stick-tap for spinal research
When a player is seriously injured during a hockey game, it’s tradition for both teammates and opponents to tap their sticks on the ice in a salute to the fallen comrade.
Jack Jablonski was that player in Dec. 2011, when an accidental check from behind left him paralyzed. Since then, he’s inspired awareness for spinal cord injury research, ranging from fundraising to a celebrity prom date.
On Saturday, Nov. 1, Jablonski and his organization, the “Bel13ve In Miracles Foundation,” are holding “A Night To Bel13ve” at the Minnesota Wild’s game vs. the Dallas Stars (nee North Stars). There’s going to be an in-game presentation featuring Miracle On Ice players, as well as something that will reach beyond the walls of the arena:
A global stick-tap.
Jablonski will lead fans during intermission in “hockey’s largest stick tap,” and has asked fans around the world to share photos or videos of their own stick tap using the #StickTap2Hope hashtag on social media.
