NHL superstar Johnny Gaudreau & his brother Matthew killed in tragic accident
Horrific news has been reported in the NHL this morning as Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Gaudreau were killed by a motorist in Salem, New Jersey late last night.
The two Gaudreau brothers were riding their bikes when a motorist struck them on the side of the road. They were both in Salem to celebrate their sister's wedding which was set to take place this weekend. Reports indicate that the driver has been arrested for driving under the influence and death by auto.
While hockey figures like Tim Peel attempted to get ahead of the story, the first major reliable source to confirm the news was the Blue Jackets themselves. This statement is a devastating one for all parties involved.
Johnny played for the Calgary Flames before moving on to the Columbus Blue Jackets two years ago. Matthew was a minor league hockey star who played in the AHL and ECHL. Both were beloved by their teammates and their families.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gaudreau family as well as the hockey community. This is a horrific loss of life, and we hoped their loved ones get the help they need during this trying time.
