NOTES: A moment of silence was observed ahead of each game last Friday for Donny Richardson, a prominent figure in the soccer community who was reported missing on Jan. 23. Richardson is presumed dead, although the police have not released a statement.

“It is with great sadness that YSML bids farewell to a pillar of the Yukon Soccer community, Donny (Donald) Alfred James Richardson. Donny was a gem of the soccer community, universally liked and respected. Many of us had the honour of sharing the pitch with him and many of us were lucky enough to call him a friend,” said a post on the Yukon Soccer Metro league Facebook page last Friday morning. “Tonight there will be a moment of silence before each game to honour the life of Donny Richardson.

“Rest in peace, Brother, you will be sorely missed.”
