Hockey fans paid tribute to NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew by creating a memorial at the New Jersey corner where they were killed by an alleged drunk driver. The memorial included a cross made of hockey sticks, flowers, balloons, and Gatorade bottles in honor of the brothers. The tragedy occurred as the Gaudreau brothers were cycling, and the driver who hit them admitted to drinking before the crash.
The community mourned the loss of the Gaudreau brothers, who were both talented hockey players. Johnny leaves behind a wife and two young daughters, while Matthew’s wife is pregnant with their first child. The brothers were supposed to be groomsmen at their sister’s wedding, which was scheduled to take place the day after the accident. The family had been celebrating the wedding rehearsal just hours before the tragic incident.
The driver, Sean Higgins, faces two counts of vehicular homicide for the crash. The hockey community across the country came together to pay their respects and offer condolences to the Gaudreau family. The incident has sparked conversations about the importance of responsible drinking and preventing tragedies like this from happening in the future. The impact of the loss of the Gaudreau brothers has been deeply felt within the hockey community, and their memory will be cherished forever.
