Kevin Quackenbush

Quak-attack burst onto the scene in 2014 with his ability to close out games; but more notably, rocking a superb beard while doing it.

What I like about Quak’s beard game is its versatility.

The man can tone it back and go with the clean-cut groomed-goatee look, then go on to be an inspiration to us all with the all out Santa Claus.

Quakenbush began donning some substantial bulk on the chin later in the year, which certainly helped translate into some saves.
