The Seattle Kraken held a beautiful moment of silence to honor Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau ahead of their season opener.
On Tuesday, the NHL kicked off its regular season in North America with a slate of three games throughout the day. Ahead of the Kraken’s home opener against the St. Louis Blues, the team held a 13-second moment of silence to honor the Gaudreaus after the pair were tragically killed in a car accident that should never have happened the night before their sister’s wedding in August.
Before the start of the NHL regular season in Europe over the weekend, the league released a wonderful tribute video to honor the two brothers who meant so much to the hockey world. And on Tuesday, the Kraken continued the memorial with a 13-second moment of silence, in honor of Johnny Gaudreau’s number he wore.
