Last week, a few Minnesota Whitecaps players scheduled a gathering of support to bring a signed jersey to Jenna Privette and also stopped in to see Jack Jablonski at Hennepin County Medical Center. They found both Jenna and Jack in good spirits, despite the pain they were feeling. These kinds of situations go far reaching and are deeply felt by everyone.

The Western Women’s Hockey League creates great opportunities for elite female athletes to play the game they love while also achieving careers in their respective areas of expertise. This holds true for Minnesota Whitecaps forward Amy Stech.
Stech is in the beginning stages of a project that could revolutionize the way hockey sticks are made. She is conducting a project on the mechanical properties of hockey sticks by studying the stiffness and vibration properties of the sticks.
Stech is currently working on her master’s degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Minnesota. She graduated from the University of Maine with her bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. The University of Minnesota doesn’t have a concentration in sports engineering, so Stech chose a mix of classes that would help her achieve a career in said area of expertise.
