SCHENECTADY, NY - The Union men's and women's ice hockey teams have joined ECAC Hockey in a partnership with Goals For Good, a charitable initiative designed to give back to the communities that have supported and been home to the teams of the conference.  As part of the Goals for Good project, the captains of each ECAC Hockey school have chosen a partnership with a charity in close relation to the team, school, and/or community.

Union Hockey is partnering with the V Foundation in honor of Kristen Shinebarger. Thankfully, Kristen has completed her treatments for her battle with Ewing's Sarcoma and is doing very well. The men's and women's team wanted to continue to honor her courageous battle by continuing to support cancer research.

The V Foundation was established in 1993 by ESPN and Jim Valvano. Jim, a former NC State Basketball Coach, saw the need for new advances in cancer research during his battle with metastatic cancer. Sadly, Jim passed away in 1993, but the foundation that he helped create is still fighting to find cures for cancer. Through Goals For Good, Union College hopes to help continue The V Foundation's support of cancer research.

Goals For Good will be a charitable competition, as fans of each program are asked to pledge a dollar amount to the team's charity per goal or win. with various bonuses for the top performing teams and their communities, Goals For Good hopes to bring an increased amount of aid and awareness to our charities this season.
