Hockey Hall of Famer and New York Rangers legend Henrik Lundqvist discussed the death of Johnny Gaudreau in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.
The hockey world was stunned back in August when NHL All-Star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, were killed while riding their bikes in New Jersey. The Gaudreaus grew up outside Philadelphia and were in town for their sister's wedding, which had been scheduled for the day after their deaths. They were hit by a suspected drunken driver.
Hall of Fame goalie Henrik Lundqvist remains shaken up by the tragedy. 'Obviously, it’s such a tragedy. It’s had a huge effect on all the players in the hockey community,' the New York Rangers legend said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. 'Hockey community is tight. I played against Johnny, met Johnny a bunch at All-Star events through friends, super-nice guy. His brother, I never met, but listening to people talk about them as brothers and family, they were great people.
The Columbus Blue Jackets, the team Johnny played for at the time of his death, begin their season on Oct. 10 when they host the Minnesota Wild in what is sure to be an emotional evening. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
