After the United States men’s hockey team beat Team Canada 2–1 in overtime to take home the Olympic gold medal for the first time in 46 years, a few of the American players began parading around on the ice holding the late Johnny Gaudreau’s jersey. It was an amazing way to honor the late hockey player in a huge moment for Team USA.
Johnny and his brother Matthew died when they were hit by a drunk driver in New Jersey while cycling the night before their sister’s wedding in August 2024. He left behind his wife Meredith and two children.
