Congrats to the Yale Bulldogs.

According to their website, "Whiteout for Mandi" set a new attendance record of 1066 for women's hockey at The Whale Friday night, and raised $9000 at the gate for Mandi's family.

And congrats to Coach Flygh for his first head coaching win on Saturday too.

Re: Yale's Mandi Schwartz

As you might guess from the user name I am an alum and Harvard fan and women's hockey fan since the late 80's but Mandi is a Yalie I am cheering for. Feel free to imagine a "Lux et" before the user name.

Mandi, if you read this you might like to know that a friend and neighbor had a marrow transplant about 18 years ago and he is doing great, same age as me (63). All the best to you.

Mandi Schwartz Suffers Setback in Battle With Cancer

Canadian hockey player Mandi Schwartz suffered another setback in her battle against cancer late last week when she got the heartbreaking news last weekend that the cancer had returned.

Schwartz has been battling acute myeloid leukemia for more than two years and underwent a stem cell transplant Sept. 22. She was undergoing another round of chemotherapy in a Seattle hospital when the results of a recent biopsy indicated a relapse for a third time this year.

"The results of the biopsy caught us off guard, because we had hoped to be done with this part of the battle," her mother Carol said in a release on Yale's website. "Mandi remains committed to fighting this disease, and we are going to continue doing everything in our power to help her. We are so grateful for all the support we have received throughout this ordeal."

"We know how many families have been affected by cancer, and we know that the efforts to raise awareness of this cause that have been made on Mandi's behalf are making a difference for her and for so many other patients in need. That gives us the strength to keep going."

Yale Athlete's Plight Gives Another Chance to Save Life

Christmas stories are supposed to be happy, not leave you wondering why people don't get the gift they desperately need. Mandi Schwartz was hoping to go home free of cancer. Instead, after a stem-cell transplant and months of treatment in Seattle, the disease has returned. The Yale hockey player will still head back to her Saskatchewan home next week, but she will go with fresh doubts and fears. It's futile to ask why anyone, especially a 22-year-old like Mandi, has to get leukemia. But it might help to know that because of her plight, somebody will be getting a priceless gift.

The person delivering it is Lexy Adams. She's a field hockey player at Yale who has never even met Mandi. But when she got to campus last year, she couldn't avoid her. It seemed everybody wanted to help Mandi, who was originally diagnosed two years ago. There were fundraisers and donor-registration drives. Not just at Yale, but throughout Canada. Mandi needed a stranger's stem cells to survive, but so do a lot of leukemia patients. And like most of us, Lexy would be willing to help. Then we get caught up in life and never get around to finding out if we might be a donor.

"I'd never even thought about it," Lexy said.

Then the Yale football team and women's hockey team organized a registration drive this spring. Lexy went and the technician swabbed the inside of her cheek. The 18-year-old's genetic makeup was registered in the National Marrow Donor Program.

Lexy figured that would be that. Transplants are such a genetic crapshoot, the vast majority of registrants never hear from donor programs again.

A few months passed, and Lexy got a call. She was a potential match.

Not for Mandi, but for somebody in the same situation.

EDIT: Unfortunate set back today as Jaden Scwartz has suffered a fractured ankle and will not be available to our WJ Team for the rest of the tourney nor to Colorado College for the balance of the season.

You know... if there is a god...can you not cut this family some slack..
