All 32 National Hockey League (NHL) teams will wear stickers on their helmets in memory of their deceased brothers. Johnny and Matthieu Gaudreau, reports the press service of the NHL club.
All teams will play with stickers from October 4-24.
The Gaudreau brothers died in late August in an accident while riding their bikes on the side of a New Jersey highway. A Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Sean Higgins, 43, fatally struck the brothers as he attempted to pass another vehicle. The suspect in Gaudreau’s murder allegedly failed a sobriety test and the man was charged with two counts.
Johnny Gaudreau was selected 104th overall by Calgary in the 2011 NHL Draft and played for the team from 2014 to 2022. Since 2022, he has played for Columbus. In the regular NHL championships, Gaudreau played 763 games and scored 743 points (243 goals and 500 assists). In 42 playoff games, he scored 33 points (11+22). As a member of the United States youth team, the striker became world champion in 2013, and together with the main team he won bronze at the 2018 World Championship.
The forward participated in the NHL All-Star Game seven times and in 2017 was awarded the Lady Byng Trophy, awarded to a player who demonstrated an example of fair sportsmanship and courteous behavior combined with great playing skills.
