Gone Too Soon: Hockey Player Dies


"The Point After" is known for it's unique posts, such as "What's the Point?", and personal articles that give very good insight to our followers about the sports world. However, despite all the humorous and entertaining posts, I feel it is necessary to reflect on Mandi Schwartz, who was a Yale University hockey player. Unfortunately, Mandi suffered from leukemia and passed away at the age of 23 Sunday April 4, 2011. As an extremely dedicated player who played 73 consecutive games, I feel it is important to recognize a fallen athlete due to a tragic disease. "The Point After" asks that you think of Mandi's family as they experience an extremely difficult and emotional time in their lives. In doing so, after reading this post please send it to anyone you know, whether they enjoy sports or not. It's important to recognize this horrific incident and we thank Ms. Schwartz for her dedication to athletics.
