The Columbus Blue Jackets will honor Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau in their own way this season
The Columbus Blue Jackets' tribute to Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau is a heartfelt way to honor their memory.
The special decals and the No. 13 patches for fans highlight both brothers' impact on the hockey community. They poignantly remind us of the fragility of life and the importance of celebrating those we've lost.
The circumstances surrounding their passing are tragic, and the Blue Jackets' decision to forgo their traditional opening-night festivities to focus on this tribute speaks volumes about their commitment to honoring the brothers. With Johnny's contributions over his 11 NHL seasons, especially his time with the Flames and the Blue Jackets, he left a significant legacy in the sport. Matthew's journey, particularly in the ECHL and his collegiate success, also deserves recognition.
This season opener against the Panthers will be an emotional moment for the team, fans, and anyone connected to the brothers. It's great to see the hockey community supporting the Gaudreau family during this difficult time.
