Jackson Drum, a 17-year-old hockey player from Parkers Prairie, Minnesota, is fighting for his life after sustaining a severe spinal cord injury during a game in Vancouver. The tragic incident, reminiscent of the Jack Jablonski case from 2011, occurred when Drum crashed headfirst into the boards. His aunt, Emily Haeg Nguyen, shared that he was revived after losing consciousness on the ice and is currently in critical condition in a Vancouver hospital.

Drum, a promising athlete aspiring to play college hockey, had been enrolled at Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy. Updates from his family indicate he suffered multiple fractures to his C2 vertebra and has undergone surgery to stabilize his condition. The community has rallied support, organizing fundraisers and meal trains, while notable figures like Vancouver Canucks player Teddy Blueger have visited him in the hospital.

Friends and family are holding vigil, hoping for Drum’s recovery as they navigate the emotional and medical challenges ahead. Plans are in place to transfer him to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, a facility specializing in spinal cord injuries, as they prepare to modify their home to accommodate his needs.
