NORPAC Goaltender of the Week Oct 5-9: Dominic DeGuiseppiDeGuiseppi may not have been the best statistical goaltender of the week but he was able to lead his team to their first victory of the season in their 5-3 defeat of the Eugene Generals. In addition to helping his team gain their first win of the year, DeGuiseppi made several fantastic saves against Southern Oregon to keep his team in the three games he suited up against the Spartans. Save the Brain!For the third year, the Yellowstone Quake medical personnel of Dr Adam Peters, Kelsey Kolstad & Amanda Kolstad, and the Billings Cinic, provided the players a baseline concussion screening. What is baseline concussion screening? Baseline concussion screening tests brain function before a head injury occurs. It measures areas such as: attention span, working memory, sustained and selective attention time, non-verbal problem solving, and reaction time. If a head injury occurs, the same test is administered again. The results from the before-and-after tests are then compared. The comparison helps determine the extent of the injury as well as when the brain has healed. Why is it important? Concussions are serious injuries. Multiple concussions or re-injury before a concussion has fully healed can cause many long-term effects, especially in young adults. Pre- and post-injury brain function testing can help determine the extent and severity of brain injury and help doctors, coaches and parents determine when it’s safe for a player to return to play. New Mouthguards!
The Quake wants to thank Dr. Taylor for donating his time and resources making custom mouthguards for the Quake players. Mouth guards protect against concussions by serving as a shock absorber, they protect against neck injuries, and they protect the teeth by distributing the force of a blow over all the teeth and diminishing contact between the lower jaw and the upper jay. Quake Attended Red Wings - Avs Game On Monday, January 10, 2011 the Quake traveled to Denver, Colorado to attend an NHL game featuring the Detroit Red Wings and the Colorado Avalanche. The team rode in their newly acquired bus on Sunday and returned to Cody immediately following the game Monday night. For the team members who are from Michigan, this was their opportunity to see their beloved Red Wings play in person! as well as check out their dressing room and watch the morning practice. To see the photos of the trip's highlights, check out the Red Wings - Avalanche Trip photo album on our photo site. |
