The Vancouver Whitecaps family and beyond is still mourning the loss of Travis Selje.

On Saturday, they’ll honour Selje with a moment of silence before the game, as well as a special tribute in the 35th minute of the match.



During that minute, which represents the number 35 that Selje wore in the Whitecaps Residency program as well as his March 5th birthday, friends and fans plan to stand and applaud in his memory.

The team is encouraging all attendees to join in standings up and remembering Selje as well.

The 17-year-old was a part of the Whitecaps Residency program from 2012 to 2016 and most recently the captain of Surrey United.
