Bruins, hockey community show outpouring of support for A.J. Quetta and his family

The hockey community really is like no other and this week has showed how supportive it is in rallying to help out a member when tragedy hits.

On Tuesday, Bishop Feehan high school senior A.J. Quetta was seriously injured during a game in West Springfield, Mass.

His family confirmed Quetta suffered a spinal cord injury after crashing headfirst into the boards. He underwent surgery on Wednesday at Mass General Hospital and has a long road to recovery from the horrific accident.

Although the surgery was successful, it’s unknown if he’ll be able to move his body again or how many surgeries he will need in the future.
