| Stick It To Brain Tumors! |
Each year over 40,000 Americans are diagnosed witha primary brain tumor, and over 100,000 are diagnosed with a metastatic tumor. (Primary tumors begin in the brain and tend to stay in the brain. Metastatic brain tumors begin as a cancer elsewhere in the body and move to the brain.) Each year approximately 2,000 children are diagnosed witha brain tumor. Brain tumors are the 2nd most common cause of death in children under the age of 20. Unfortunately, brain tumor cancer research is one of the most under-funded areas fo cancer research in the country, receiving only about one-tenth of the funds going to breast cancer research or one-fifth of colorectal cancer funding. Of the ten priority areas for research, brain tumors come in at the bottom for funding. Research is essential to help improve treatment options and find the causes of brain tumors. Today, you can make an immediate difference in the life and quality of life of a child. Each dollar we raise goes towards our goals of better treatment options and more awareness of this horrible cancer. ALL proceeds will be donated to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation for brain tumor research. |

Welcome to Mustangs Hockey
The Mustangs Womens Ice Hockey Team, is a D Level, recreational hockey team for women ages 18+ and was formed in September 2005. The Mustangs are registered with USA Hockey and skate at the Messa Rink, Union College, Schenectady, New York.
The Mustangs are coached by Adam Brinker. Brinker is also the Managing Director of the Messa Rink at Achilles Center. He came to Union from the University of Findlay, where he served as the head women's ice hockey coach, from 1999 to 2004.
As the coach of the Mustangs, Brinker encourages the women to work hard and have fun, while learning the game of hockey.
