Late NHL star Johnny Gaudreau was known for his character on and off the ice. The former Columbus Blue Jackets forward was a family man and prioritized family above all else.

On Friday, Johnny’s sister Katie reposted a throwback picture from five years ago on her Instagram stories where Johnny posed with his nephews and nieces. The picture was originally shared by Johnny’s elder sister Kristen.

“John always came home and spent the night at the house instead of a hotel before they played the Flyers. Nothing like just being at home. Miss you 💙”, the post was captioned.
