Thousands of fans in Ohio and Canada gathered for candlelight vigils to honor NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, who were tragically killed by an alleged drunk driver in New Jersey. The vigils, marked by deep silence and emotion, featured heartfelt tributes from teammates and fans, reflecting the profound impact of the Gaudreaus on their communities. In Columbus, over 2,000 candles were handed out, and the gathering included speeches from Blue Jackets players like Erik Gudbranson and Zach Werenski, who praised Johnny's contributions and family values. Similarly, in Calgary, fans and Flames staff united in grief outside the Saddledome, highlighting Johnny's legacy and the inspiration he provided to young hockey players. Both communities have erected growing shrines and memorials to commemorate the brothers. The vigils emphasized not only their contributions to hockey but also the importance of responsible driving.
