Former Calgary Flames player Johnny Gaudreau, brother Matthew confirmed dead: NHL
Former Calgary Flames winger Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew are dead following an “unimaginable tragedy,” according to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman issued a statement early Friday morning that stated the league is “shocked and saddened by the tragic passing of Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew.
“While Johnny’s infectious spirit for the game and show-stopping skills on the ice earned him the nickname ‘Johnny Hockey,’ he was more than just a dazzling hockey player; he was a doting father and beloved husband, son, brother and teammate who endeared himself to every person fortunate enough to have crossed his path.”
