Hard to believe he’s gone.
It is extremely difficult for me to listen to Amazing Grace with dry eyes. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be for the Gaudreau family. Rest in Peace Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, we salute you.
Ima Canucks fan and it hits me really hard I can just imagine flames fans RIP #13 😔🫡
Never to be forgotten. Two shining lights in this world have been dimmed. Rest in peace Johnny and Matthew.
A week ago, the Gaudreau’s are looking forward to the wedding, today we’re having vigils for the loss of two incredible people killed because of the selfishness and carelessness of one man. Lives irreversibly shattered in an instant. Life is precious, man. How quickly things can change and no one can prepare. Rest easy, Johnny and Matthew.
Forever a Flames #13
Thank you Gaudreau family for sharing your boys with us. Sharing all the hockey spirit and love of the game! Never forgotten. Always remembered. Always a flame.
Thank you, Calgary Flames, for this memorial to honor Johnny Hockey and his brother. I have never been so deeply impacted by a public figure before now. Watching Johnny grow as a player and seeing Johnny let Calgarians into his life, his family's life is why I love him so. Thank you, Mr and Mrs Gaudreau, for raising such wonderful boys.
When Daryl got the Flames in cap jail, Johnny changed the team entirely upon his arrival.
Such a tragic loss
My favorite flame 🕊💔
RIP boys. thank you to everyone who is grieving this loss
Not fair rip boys
Rip from Winnipeg
