The two coaches spoke on the lasting impact that the brothers made during their time at Boston College.
Former Boston College men’s hockey head coach Jerry York and current Eagles head coach Greg Brown spoke to the media on Friday to remember the lives and legacies of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau,“It’s hard to put into words,” said Brown. “The Gaudreau family is so close, they’re so tight. So many people here that were affected by them, their teammates, everybody. The fact that they were together is horrific but ironic because they were that kind of family.
“They brought a ton of joy to the rink,” said Brown. “They were happy to be here, like truly happy to be here. Big smiles all the time. The things they could do on the ice, that’s what people who don’t know them remember because they were both magical in their own ways but everyone just loved having them on the team, they were tremendous teammates. They light up the room when they came in.
“That’s how they got him to get around the ice, I think he would chase skittles,” said Brown. “He wasn’t in love with hockey when he was little but he would chase the skittles because he liked those. His diet was never that of a world-class athlete.” “Both amazing players and people all talk about Johnny as Olympic player and world class, but just as someone to raise the level your practice to be Johnny Hockey but not wear that label,” said York. “Well respected by all the students here, the teachers, and by Greg and I. If you asked us to name our favorite players, they’ve got to be, both boys are going to be among them.
