Today is an extremely shocking and sad day as the hockey community has lost Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau in a accident involving a drunk driver and the family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.

The Gaudreau family has issued an emotional statement on X (formally Twitter) thanking everyone for their prayers and support during this time and have asked for continued privacy and respect while they grieve their loss.

Family Statement Per Jim Gaudreau

There have already been many stories and reports on this extremely sad incident, and we here at Bruins Latest do not want to come across as being insensitive to the Gaudreau family, we just hope that they find solace in the mass support and prayers being sent their way.

Rest In Peace Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, you will be missed greatly.
