Friday, August 30, 2024 12:02PMColumbus Blue Jackets winger Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew have died in what the team called an "unimaginable tragedy." Johnny Gaudreau was 31, and Matthew was 29.
The Blue Jackets did not disclose details of how the brothers died in a statement Friday on social media. "Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice," the Blue Jackets wrote. "He brought a genuine love for hockey with him everywhere he played from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to Team USA to the Blue Jackets. He thrilled fans in a way only Johnny Hockey could. The impact he had on our organization and our sport was profound, but pales in comparison to the indelible impression he made on everyone who knew him.
Gaudreau played in 11 NHL seasons for the Flames and Blue Jackets. He joined Columbus for the 2022-23 season and posted 12 goals and 48 assists in 81 games last season. "The National Hockey League family is shocked and saddened by the tragic passing of Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.
