Their poor sister. They were supposed to attend her wedding today. Unimaginably sad.

The entire hockey community stands with his family

Absolutely heartbreaking. Rest in peace Matthew Gaudreau and Johnny Hockey

Man killed by a drunk driver the day before their sister’s wedding… this is so fucked

[Dutchovenderlinde]

This hurts so deeply. I was a Johnny Hockey fan ever since he broke into the league. He was an amazing person and the fact his brother also left this world with him just hurts even more. God rest their souls.

Whats even more heartbreaking is that they were in town to see their sister get married. Rip Johnny

The night before their sister's wedding. Absolutely horrible. I can't even imagine the pain the family is going through.

Been a hockey fan for 17 years, and this is some of the most heartbreaking news i’ve seen in years. My heart goes out to the family and his teammates

My wife just told me yesterday to take a day off work and spent it with my daughter because in her words "you can always make more money, your daughter will grow up once" so I did. Then you wake up to news of this nature and you see how life can be taken away so fast. Rip to these two men snd I can only hope their families find peace.

How could anyone not like the way this guy skated and played the game with such delicate lightness. Such an amazing skater with super soft hands!!!

I’m shocked, this is absolutely horrible. Rest In Peace Johnny and Matthew. This is the most heartbreaking hockey news I’ve seen in all the years that I’ve been a fan.

Flames fan here. I can't begin to tell you the impression he made on me, and so many of us in Calgary. He meant a lot to the team and more to the entire community. I'm just gutted by this. RIP Johnny.

[cmacnaughton]

I was always impressed by Johnny Gaudreau's passion, and ability for the game. Johnny and his Brother will be sorely missed.

R.I.P. Thanks for what you have done in Columbus and Calgary ❤️

[alphaomega]

As an Edmonton Oilers fan. I hated it when he played against us when he was in Calgary.

Great hockey player and will be missed by many. RIP Johnny and his younger bro.

I wasn't expecting this kind of news to start the morning. Absolutely tragic news 😢💔. Felt such a kinship to Johnny Hockey as a fellow Jersey guy. He was one of my favorite players to watch in hockey 🏒. He will be sorely missed.
RIP Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau 🕊️🌹. Condolences to their family, friends and fans all across the great sport of hockey 🙏🏼.

As a small forward from New Jersey I always looked up to his game and what he meant to Jersey youth hockey. Was gutted when he didn't come here but that comes from a place of admiration. RIP Johnny Hockey.

Will never forget how good Johnny was in the 2013 world juniors. This is absolutely crushing

[tangofett]

As a Preds fan, he was a Preds killer. Johnny was an incredible player and seemed like a great guy as well. I’m sorry to hear about this tragedy of Johnny and his brother, Matthew.
