A high school hockey player in Minnesota who was paralyzed after a hit last week is unlikely to regain the use of his legs or his arms from the elbows down, his surgeon said Thursday.

Jack Jablonski, 16, of Benilde-St. Margaret's High School underwent surgery Wednesday. He was hit from behind and crashed head-first into the boards in a junior varsity tournament game last week.
