Madeline Gaudreau launches heartfelt 'comfy' clothing line in memory of late husband Matthew Gaudreau In a heartfelt Instagram post, Madeline Gaudreau unveiled the upcoming launch of 'Matty's collection,' a custom line of sweatsuits that reflect the style and spirit of the man she loved. 'Mattys collection will be live June 1st It was such an honor designing this with BLK The Label,' she wrote. 'If you know Matty you know he was always in his 'comfies.' I wanted to make sure that we had a sweat suit that spoke to his style which is simple and also comfortable. ' Madeline emphasized how much Matthew loved wearing comfortable clothes and bright colors—especially green. One standout item in the collection is a bucket hat, which she said was Matty's signature summer accessory. The collection also includes youth sizes, a thoughtful touch that honors Matthew's post-retirement dedication to coaching youth hockey. 'He would've loved seeing the kids he taught and his nieces and nephews wearing something created in his honor,' she shared. 'Know just how important this is to me and to him,' Madeline added, noting that a portion of the collection's proceeds will benefit The John and Matthew Gaudreau Foundation. The Gaudreau family's acts of remembrance continued earlier this month when Katie Gaudreau, Matthew's sister, ran the 2025 Broad Street Run in Philadelphia. Though she had minimal training, she ran each mile in tribute to someone meaningful in her life. She closed the final mile for her late brothers Johnny and Matty, writing: 'Broad Street 2025 🤍 Very little training but a whole lot of support... Although I wouldn't recommend 10 miles without training. ' Their enduring legacy lives on in every step, stitch, and story.
