Tributes for NHL player Johnny Gaudreau and his younger brother streamed in Friday as the star forward’s death left the hockey community reeling.
Johnny, 31, and his brother Matthew, 29, were killed Thursday night when they were hit by a suspected drunk driver while riding bicycles in their home state of New Jersey, police said Friday.
Johnny leaves behind two young children and his wife Meredith.
The NHL released a statement from commissioner Gary Bettman, who said Gaudreau “was more than just a dazzling hockey player; he was a doting father and beloved husband, son, brother and teammate who endeared himself to every person fortunate enough to have crossed his path.”
