That as the Prince Rupert Youth Soccer Association introduces a new Bursary for the city's Secondary School.
This week, the PRYSA introduced the Dempsey Tsakonas Memorial Bursary, to be awarded annually to a graduating student who is a member of the CHSS Rainmakers Soccer team.
Mr. Tsakonas was a long time participant of the Prince Rupert Soccer scene, he passed away earlier this year at the age of 44.
His online obituary charting a life full of community involvement and asking that in lieu of flowers at the time, that a donation for Prince Rupert Youth Soccer be considered.

The first recipient for the Bursary was also named this week, with Sera Stevens making history for the bursary program. Ms. Stevens is enrolled in the Music and Technology program at Selkirk College, with plans to commence her studies this winter.
You can review the announcement from the PRYSA Social media stream
The Association is also looking to keep up to date on past youth soccer members who have moved on to higher education and participation in the sport at other levels.
Towards that they have created an aluminum section to the PRYSA website and if you have some information to share with them contact them at pryouthsoccer@gmail.com
The alumni page can be viewed here.
