Boston Bruins, New England hockey community rally around A.J. Quetta

From the Boston Bruins to a rival high school, the hockey community has rallied to support injured 18-year-old high school player A.J. Quetta, whose headfirst crash into the boards might leave him paralyzed.

"It's incredible. Close to 10,000 people taking the time to support A.J. I think the [fundraising] number's now probably close to a million dollars," said Tim Sullivan, president of Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, Massachusetts, where Quetta is a senior.

Quetta suffered a spinal cord injury in a Tuesday night game against Pope Francis in West Springfield, awkwardly falling into the boards on an attempted bodycheck.
