The Calgary Flames hosted the Gaudreau family on Tuesday night as they paid tribute to former NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, who was killed alongside his brother in a bike accident in August.
The Calgary Flames paid tribute to former NHL star Johnny Gaudreau before a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, months after he and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were tragically killed by a suspected drunk driver while riding bikes on a rural road in New Jersey the night before their sister’s wedding. The emotional night began with a ceremonial puck drop that included Gaudreau’s parents, Jane and Guy, his two sisters and his wife, Meredith, and their two children.
Johnny was also honored by the Flames after their 3-0 victory over Columbus as he was named the first star of the game. His father walked out on the ice to accept the honor alongside Calgary captain Rasmus Andersson.
