Curtis Jon Giles (born November 30, 1958) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman.
Selected by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1978 NHL Entry Draft, Giles had two tenures with the North Stars (1979–86 and 1987–91). During each, his steady defensive play helped guide the North Stars to appearances in the 1981 and 1991 Stanley Cup Finals. Giles also played for the New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues.
He had a portion of his left ring finger amputated on March 24, 1986 in order to compete in the 1986 Stanley Cup playoffs. The finger had a tumor in the bone and forced him to miss the end of the 1985-86 regular-season.[1]
He is the head hockey coach at Edina High School, Minnesota. His team won the state title in 2010, 2013,[2] 2014, 2019 and 2024.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
