On Friday night, NHL Network premiered a short documentary on Do it For Daron, the movement to spread awareness about mental health. DIFD was founded to honor Daron Richardson, daughter of Islanders assistant coach Luke Richardson, who took her own life in 2010 at the age of 14.
The video is narrated by Islanders head coach Doug Weight, a longtime friend and teammate of Luke’s. It’s a very emotional and moving story of a life lost far too early and a hockey family that came to support each other.
