As students begin their new year of classes, schools around the territory remain without moveable soccer goals.

About 70 goals were removed from school grounds earlier this summer following the death of a five-year-old Watson Lake girl.

Jaedyn Amann died in July after playing in Watson Lake Secondary School's field with three friends between the ages of three and five.

The youngsters were under the supervision of her mom and another mother, when one of the children leaned or pulled on the goal.

Her father, Paul Amann, has previously noted the child couldn't have weighed more than 30 lbs.

The goal collapsed and struck Jaedyn on the back of the head.

The little girl died a few hours later at the Watson Lake hospital.

Immediately following her death, the Department of Education announced it was taking down all moveable goals on school properties to conduct its own safety investigation.

That investigation is continuing, Michele Royle, a spokesperson for the department, said this week.

All the soccer goals around the territory remain dismantled with the exception of one at F.H. Collins Secondary School in Whitehorse.

Responsibility for that net, including ensuring that is is properly anchored, has been taken over by the Yukon Soccer Association, Royle said.

It's now being used for training and practices.

There are no programs currently running in the territory that would need the other goals, Royle said.

Hopes are to have the Department of Education's investigation complete sometime in the fall so goals can be put back up.

The territory's chief coroner also expects to have her investigation and report done by the fall.

Kirsten Macdonald has said the soccer goal, manufactured by Raymond Company, is a metal, collapsible apparatus measuring six feet and six inches by 10 ft., and weighing 80 kg.

Unfortunately, Macdonald said, she was unable to track down the company.

"The data we have is old, and companies change often,” she said.

When it's complete, the report will be made public.

"Things are progressing well, and we hope to have everything ready for the fall,” Macdonald said.

An online petition calling for the creation of a law to ban or strictly regulate collapsible soccer goals had collected more than 5,700 signatures as of this week.
