Flames Tribute to Gaudreau Brothers After Tragedy

The Calgary Flames paid tribute to former player Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, who were tragically killed in a bike accident, with an emotional ceremony before their game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Johnny, affectionately known as 'Johnny Hockey,' spent nine seasons with the Flames before moving to the Blue Jackets. The Gaudreau family, including Johnny's wife Meredith and their children, participated in the ceremonial puck drop, where players from both teams wore Gaudreau's jersey number 13 during warmups. The tribute included a video montage and a touching moment that saw fans and players alike overcome with emotion. Calgary's 3-0 victory over Columbus was highlighted by a goal from Flames captain Rasmus Andersson, who dedicated it to Johnny. The driver involved in the accident has been charged with multiple offenses, including death by auto and reckless driving.
