Erik Gudbranson’s wife Sarah recently shared a heartfelt tribute to Johnny Gaudreau’s widow, Meredith. She praised Meredith for her strength and resilience during this difficult time. The hockey community gathered at Scotiabank Saddledome to honor Johnny before the Calgary Flames faced off against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
Johnny and his brother Matthew died in August after being struck by an alleged drunk driver in New Jersey. The tragedy deeply affected both the Flames and the Blue Jackets, as well as their fans. Johnny, a skilled player and fan favorite, spent eight seasons with the Flames before joining the Blue Jackets in 2022. He was only 31 years old, and Matthew was 29.
The pregame tribute was emotional, with players, fans and Gaudreau’s family honoring his legacy. Banners with Johnny’s Calgary Flames jersey and personal memorabilia were displayed.
