Boston College Honors Fallen Hockey Players

Boston College's men's hockey team will honor late players Tony Voce and brothers Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau during their season, following their tragic deaths this summer. Voce, a member of the Eagles' 2001 national championship team, died at 43, while the Gaudreau brothers were killed in a bicycle accident just days before their sister's wedding. The Eagles will wear patches with their initials, hold a moment of silence, and showcase a tribute video before their home opener against American International College. Additionally, during warmups for their Hockey East opener on November 8, players will don jerseys featuring the names of Voce or the Gaudreaus. The school's trophy case has been updated to honor their contributions to the program, reflecting the deep impact they had on Boston College hockey. The tributes are part of a broader outpouring of grief from the hockey community, with other teams, including the Boston Bruins and Columbus Blue Jackets, also recognizing the Gaudreau brothers.
