Countless members of the hockey community are expected to join family and friends for the funeral.
Funeral to be held today for Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau at a church in Media, Pennsylvania The Columbus Blue Jackets and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman are among the mourners scheduled to attend the funeral service for John and Matthew Gaudreau, the siblings who died when they were struck by a suspected drunken driver while riding bicycles in their home state of New Jersey.
The brothers have been mourned across the sports world, including Columbus, Ohio, where Gaudreau signed a free-agent deal in 2022 with the small-market Blue Jackets over more lucrative free-agent offers from other teams, including New Jersey. Fans and Blue Jackets players gathered last week for an emotional candlelight vigil and a similar gathering was held in Calgary.
Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were honored with a vigil at Gloucester Catholic High School on Friday night. Police said the driver, 43-year-old Sean M. Higgins, was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and faces two counts of death by auto, along with reckless driving, possession of an open container and consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle. He has been jailed pending a Sept. 13 hearing.Johnny Gaudreau's widow pays tribute to him in social media posts: 'You were perfect'
