The Yale University women's ice hockey team will be staging another "White Out for Mandi" on Dec. 2 when the team plays host to Princeton University at Ingalls Rink. The team will utilize the game as a fundraiser for the Mandi Schwartz Foundation.

On April 3, a courageous Schwartz lost her two-year battle to acute myeloid leukemia in the presence of family and friends. Schwartz is the sister of Jaden Schwartz, who was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the first round in 2010.
 
"She was everything to me," Jaden Schwartztold NHL.com back in August. "She was a huge inspiration in every aspect of life, whether it was hockey or the way she treated people. She kind of touched everybody, especially when she got sick … she never complained about a thing and kept fighting. She kept believing and, every chance she'd get, she'd go for a workout or skate despite being sick -- it was awesome."
