Known for his humble nature and infectious charisma, Johnny Gaudreau touched the hearts of fans all over the world, and while his brother Matthew never made it to the NHL, he still had a successful college and minor career; both careers cut short way too soon.
As tributes pour in from NHL teams, other professional sports leagues, politicians, and fans; who were seen leaving flowers, mementos and purple Gatorade in honour of Gaudreau, with one coming from a legend with a deep connection to Calgary.
It's a tearjerking post to say the least, and a beautiful sentiment from an icon of the game. It's safe to say that both men will be remembered by fans, colleagues and family alike, forever.
