Delaware Ave,Suite 213 Philadelphia PA 19125 THE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS RESEARCH INSTITUTE (MSRI), is a non- profit (501(c)3: 20-1354368) foundation located in Philadelphia. MSRI was established in 2004 by its Chairman, Jeffrey Greenstein, MD, to Find, Stop and Cure MS. The mission of MSRI is to perform the highest quality laboratory-based research and to provide outstanding education in the field of Multiple Sclerosis. Curing MS is Dr. Greenstein’s life’s work. His background as a neurologist and immunologist coupled with his experience in research (including several years at the National Institutes of Health) uniquely qualifies him to lead the charge against Multiple Sclerosis through MSRI. MSRI operates a fully-equipped laboratory, where Dr. Greenstein and his full-time PhD research assistant are diligently working to find the cause of MS, uncover ways to reduce symptoms and hopefully one day cure the disease.

During the decade- long Flyers portion of his career, "Propper" played 790 regular season games (third on the franchise's all-time list). He compiled 849 points (third most in franchise history), with 369 goals (second only to Bill Barber) and 480 assists (second only to Bobby Clarke). The left winger ranks second to Clarke in all-time playoff scoring, with 112 points in 116 games. Propp played in five NHL All-Star games as a Flyer and five Stanley Cup Finals overall (three with the Flyers). For his NHL career, he racked up 425 goals and 1,004 points in 1,016 regular season games plus 148 points in 160 playoff games. Additionally, his Flyers career plus-311 rating ranks fourth in franchise history behind only Hockey Hall of Fame inductees Bobby Clarke, Mark Howe and Bill Barber. Drafted 14th overall by the Flyers in the 1979 NHL Draft after setting since-broken scoring scoring records in the Western League for the Brandon Wheat Kings, Propp topped 30 goals in eight seasons and reached the 40-goal plateau three times. He also topped 50 assists three times and had at least 40 assists in nine campaigns. Propp made an immediate impact upon his NHL arrival in 1979-80, scoring 34 goals and 75 points in 80 regular season games. This stood as a Flyers franchise record for rookie scoring until Mikael Renberg set a new mark with 38 goals and 82 points in 1993-94. Propp started his rookie season on a line with Clarke and Barber but later became a regular on a trio that came to be known as the Rat Patrol, along with center Ken "the Rat" Linseman and right winger Paul Holmgren. Over the course of his career, Propp went from being a player primarily known as a goal- scorer to a complete two-way player. He was also one of the predominant shorthanded goal scoring threats in the NHL during the 1980s. For example, on Jan. 15, 1985, Propp scored a hat trick in a 7-1 Flyers home rout of the Calgary Flames. The second and third goals were both scored shorthanded in the second period, and the goal that completed the hat trick was a dazzler. In the postseason, Propp had spectacular runs in 1987 (12 goals, 28 points in 26 games) en route to the Stanley Cup Finals and 1989 (14 goals, 23 points in 18 games) amid the Flyers surprise run to the Cup Semifinals against Montreal. In the latter part of his career, he became known for his signature goal celebration, dubbed the "Guffaw" in honor of a routine in which comedian Howie Mandel used the same gesture. Propp scored one of the most important goals in Flyers franchise history. With the team on the brink of elimination in Game Six of the 1987 Stanley Cup Final and getting severely outplayed by the Edmonton Oilers, Propp sniped a third-period power play goal high to Grant Fuhr's glove side to tie the game at 2-2 with 6:56 remaining in the third period. Propp's tying goal set the wheels in motion for defenseman J.J. Daigneault's iconic game- winning goal to force a seventh game back in Edmonton. Currently, Brian gives back to the community as a volunteer through his tireless commitment to several charities, including NHS Human Services, Bringing Hope Home, The Center for Autism, Flyers Alumni Foundation and The United Way of Camden County. A 6-handicap golfer, you can find Brian on the links participating in charitable client golf events throughout the summers, helping kids and raising awareness for many social and charitable causes. Brian resides in South Jersey with his two children, Paige & Jackson.

A Princeton University graduate, the Flyers signed the undrafted Faust as a free agent on October 5, 1992. Faust dressed in 47 NHL games for the Flyers over parts of the 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons for the Flyers, chipping in 10 goals and 17 points. He had eight goals and 13 points in 37 games his second season. Perhaps the most memorable game of Faust's NHL career came when he scored back-to-back goals for the Flyers in an 8-2 home win over the Ottawa Senators on March 10, 1994. Faust also spent parts of three seasons with the Flyers' AHL farm team, the Hershey Bears. His most productive stint came as he produced 26 goals and 51 points for the Bears in 62 games during the 1992-93 season. After leaving North American hockey in 1996, Faust spent six years in Germany's DEL for the Augsburg Panthers and Cologne Sharks and then one season in Sweden with Farjestads BK Karlstad before retiring in 2003. He was an assistant coach for Princeton University in 2004-2005. Andre currently resides in Cherry Hill, NJ with his wife and 3 children. He is actively involved in his family's real estate business in Quebec. He is frequently seen playing with the Flyers Alumni in various charity events.

Originally drafted in the sixth round (112th overall) of the 1979 NHL Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, Crossman was a standout offensive-minded defenseman in the Ontario Hockey League for the Ottawa 67s, for whom he racked up 20 goals and 116 points in 1979-80; the season following his draft year. Crossman broke into the NHL with the Blackhawks, and later went to become a Flyers mainstay during the final season of the Bob McCammon coaching era and throughout the Mike Keenan era. On June 8, 1983, the Flyers traded former All-Star defenseman Behn Wilson to the Blackhawks in exchange for Crossman and a 1984 second-round draft choice (Scott Mellanby). Over the course of Crossman's five years with the Flyers, he posted 193 points (35 goals including 18 on power plays, 158 assists) and a combined plus-66 rating in 392 games. Along with stalwart defensive defenseman Brad Marsh, Crossman was half of the Flyers' second defense pairing during the best years of his career. Playing into the Stanley Cup Final in both 1985 and 1987, Crossman played 60 playoff games overall as a Flyers, chipping in nine goals, 31 points and 81 penalty minutes. Crossman's top year as a Flyer came in 1986-87, when he produced 40 regular season points (nine goals, 31 assists) in 78 games. He added 18 playoff points (four goals, 14 assists) in 26 playoff games. On September 29, 1988, the Flyers traded Crossman to the LA Kings for veteran defensive defenseman Jay Wells. After departing Philadelphia, Crossman played in the NHL through 1993-94 with a series of teams (Los Angeles, New York Islanders, Hartford Whalers, Detroit Red Wings, Tampa Bay Lightning, St. Louis Blues). He retired in 1995 after playing 914 NHL regular season games and 97 playoff tilts. In retirement, Crossman made his home in New Jersey.

A heart-and-soul defender, accomplished shot blocker and underrated at making an accurate first pass, Marsh was also a team leader. Drafted by the Atlanta Flames in the first round (11th overall) of the 1978 NHL Draft, Marsh went on to play in 1,086 NHL regular season games (514 with the Flyers), registering 23 goals and 198 points but posting a career plus-57 rating at even strength.
