The Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association is saddened to announce the recent loss of one of our players. During a house league game at the Carp arena on the evening of February 5th, a15-year old player on the Richmond Royals Minor Midget team collapsed on the bench. The bench staff and volunteers at the arena responded immediately and began CPR. Paramedics arrived on the scene and transported the player to the hospital where he received further treatment. Sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, the young man passed away early on the morning of February 6th. The RMMHA extends its deepest condolences to the family. Our hockey family would like to respect the family’s request for privacy and to thank the community for its support at this difficult time.
A trust fund has been set up at Scotiabank to help the Kerrs with the funeral costs. If you would like to make a donation, you can do so at any Scotiabank branch by asking to donate to the Tyler Kerr fund. On Friday Feb.10th, Scotiabank will match all donations made on that day.
