Mandi Schwartz Biography

Mandi Schwartz is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on February 3, 1988 in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. ECAC Hockey has renamed the Student-Athlete of the Year Award to honor Mandi Schwartz. This announcement was made on Mandi Schwartz’s 24th birthday. “ECAC Hockey’s Mandi Swartz Student-Athlete Award goes to a student athlete who excels in school, takes part in half of the team’s games and demonstrates leadership off and on the ice. Each head coach nominates one student-athlete and a committee of school administrators selects the winner. Schwartz’s high-school, Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox (Saskatchewan), hosts the Mandi Schwartz Memorial Tournament every year. It is billed as the largest female hockey tournament in western Canada.

Schwartz was diagnosed in December 2008 with acute myeloidleukemia. This was her junior year at Yale. Schwartz had been sick throughout the fall semester. She attributed her illness to stress and an initial diagnosis as anemia. On December 8, 2008, she was diagnosed with cancer. She began treatment for her cancer in December 2008. After a brief recovery, she was able to return briefly to school. In January 2010, she resumed hockey practice. She was informed in April 2010 that her cancer had returned.

Yale University has made bone marrow drives an annual event on campus. The first two drives signed up over 1,600 potential donors. The 2011 drive was held in April, shortly after Schwartz’s death. Shortly after the event, it was announced that the drive had unofficially signed up almost 900 potential donors. Although the school’s drives did not find a match for Schwartz, they have generated 28 other matches for patients who required a bone marrow transplant. The success of Yale’s bone marrow drives is statistically unlikely, according to Sam Rubin who works in Yale’s sports publicity department. Rubin stated, “Usually, it takes tens of thousands of people to get one match. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Doctors had decided that Schwartz’s best option for treatment would be either a cord blood or bone marrow transplant. In the hopes of finding a match, bone marrow drives were organized at Yale University and at several locations throughout Canada. In the first two years Yale University hosted drives, they added more than 1600 potential donors. These bone marrow drives did not result in a match for Schwartz, but doctors found a suitable donor from umbilical cord blood. In September 2010, Schwartz underwent the transplant in Seattle. Her cancer went into remission after the transplant, but returned again in December 2010. Shortly after this, Schwartz decided to discontinue most forms of treatment. Rather than hoping for a cure, Schwartz continued with palliative chemotherapy designed to minimize her symptoms. On April 2, 2011, she entered a Regina hospital and died the following day.

After graduating from high school in 2006, she joined the Yale Bulldogs. Schwartz was diagnosed with leukemia in 2006. She played two full seasons at Yale University and part of one third. She played in all 31 games of her team’s 2006-07 freshman season, scoring 5 goals and 8 assists. During her three seasons of hockey, she was an ECAC Hockey All-Academic. Schwartz was a sophomore and played in 31 games. She scored 4 goals and added 10 assists. Schwartz’s ten assists that season were the third most for her team. Schwartz was a junior player who had previously played in 11 games. She was diagnosed with leukemia at the beginning of her junior season. Despite being in great shape, she only managed one assist during those games. Schwartz was initially diagnosed as anemia. However, she was later diagnosed with acute myeloidleukemia. She had been a Yale Bulldogs player for 73 consecutive games when she was forced to quit her team.
