Gophers Relay for Life

The U of M Women’s hockey team participated in American Cancer
Society’s “Relay for Life” last week at the U of M Fieldhouse.

The team participated in honor of their equipment manager
Bonnie Olein, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in February 2005.

The group participated under two team names, “Shut Out Cancer”
and “Go4Bonnie”, and raised $5500, with the proceeds going to cancer
research. One-hundred forty-six teams participated in the overnight
walk around the U of M track to raise funds and cancer awareness,
and honor those who have lost their battle with the disease.

The event, opened this year by emcee Jason Davis, begins with a
lap around the track by survivors of the disease. Around midnight,
participants take a lap in the dark, in honor of those battling the
disease.

Hockey and Medicine

A 2002 Study published in the Canadian Medical Journal studied the cardiovascular effects of the game on adult players.

[The Study's] Interpretation: The physical activity pattern that occurred during recreational hockey caused cardiac responses that might be dangerous to players’ health.

More specifically, the players exceeded target and maximum heart rates, had poor heart rate recovery after exercise, and had episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and ST-segment depression of uncertain clinical significance.
