Johnny Gaudreau, aged 31, was well-known for his incredible skills on the ice and had a long, successful career in the NHL. He played as a winger for the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team that expressed their deep sorrow over the loss of their star player. The Blue Jackets released a statement on social media, describing Johnny not just as an exceptional hockey player, but also as a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend. They highlighted how Johnny’s joyful spirit was contagious both on and off the ice, and how his passion for the game was felt by everyone who had the chance to watch him play.
Johnny’s career was impressive, starting from his college days at Boston College, moving on to the Calgary Flames, and eventually playing for Team USA and the Columbus Blue Jackets. The team emphasized that while Johnny’s impact on the sport was significant, it couldn’t compare to the lasting impression he left on those who knew him personally. The Blue Jackets’ message ended with a request for privacy for the Gaudreau family as they navigate this unimaginable loss, and they asked the public to keep the family in their thoughts and prayers.
The Commissioner of the NHL, Gary Bettman, also shared his condolences in a heartfelt statement. He acknowledged Johnny as one of the League’s brightest young stars during his 11 seasons in the NHL. Bettman extended his deepest sympathies to Johnny’s wife, Meredith, their children, Noa and Johnny, his parents, Guy and Jane, and his sisters, Kristen and Katie.
