Johnny Gaudreau's 32nd birthday unites fans, teams, and rivals across the NHL, turning loss into a call for change
On what would have been Johnny Gaudreau's 32nd birthday, the NHL's usual rivalries gave way to one thing: remembrance. Teams, players and fans across the league paused to honour the winger known as 'Johnny Hockey,' sharing tributes that ranged from social posts to jersey gestures — a reminder of how one life can ripple through an entire sport. A league-wide moment of remembrance and family memories The outpouring wasn't just lip service. From the Columbus Blue Jackets' tribute to fans tweeting memories and teammates adopting his number in small honors, the reaction illustrated how Gaudreau's warmth and play resonated beyond city lines. Meredith Gaudreau's words captured that magnetic pull perfectly: 'I remember how everyone gravitated toward you. Everyone wanted to be near you. To see you. And I was like, Who is this guy? I didn't know a thing about you. ' Those lines, published in her moving Players' Tribune letter, helped frame the day as both celebration and communal mourning. From heartbreak to action: the foundation and family updates The birthday also marked a turning point: Meredith and Madeline Gaudreau used the day to launch the John and Matthew Gaudreau Foundation, focused on preventing drunk driving and supporting families affected by such tragedies. The move channels grief into concrete change, honoring Johnny and Matthew by trying to stop other families from suffering similarly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo On the personal front, Meredith's public reflections have balanced sorrow with family updates — she celebrated new life and the small continuations that matter most to anyone left behind.

Recent interviews with the widows have shown their determination to keep the brothers' memory alive while building something that matters for the future.

Fans at the Peacock Theater chanted 'Johnny! Johnny!' in honour of the late player nicknamed 'Johnny Hockey' and cheered Meredith as she spoke. 'I just wanted to take this time to thank every single team and every single fan base for your support for my family this past season,' Gaudreau said. 'It's truly an honor to be here, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.' Gaudreau then said the Blue Jackets were taking Jackson Smith, who later called it a surreal experience.

PGA Tour star's tragic accident at Memorial led to meeting wife
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Memorial Tournament is one of the most famous tournaments in all of golf. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the event hosted by Jack Nicklaus. While most golfers build fond memories for winning at Muirfield Village, PGA Tour professional Bud Cauley remembers it for an entirely different reason. Almost seven years ago to the day, on June 1, 2018, Cauley suffered a tragic fate. The former Alabama Crimson Tide golfer had just missed the cut. While leaving the property in Ohio, he got into a car with Columbus Blue Jackets' James Wisniewski, Tommy Nichols and local surgeon David Crawford. The latter of which was driving. Less than a couple miles out, Crawford lost control of the vehicle and went careening off the road, going airborne into a tree. CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 15: Bud Cauley of the United States hits out of a greenside bunker on the first hole during the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club...

(Photo by) MoreCauley sustained five broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a fractured lower left leg, according to Golfweek. Crawford plead guilty to three counts of vehicular assault and was sentenced to 2.5 years of probation. Meanwhile, Cauley was staring at a long road to recovery. As it turned out, the tragic accident was a blessing in disguise. "It's kind of funny, honestly," said Cauley, who is tied for 26th at the Memorial following the third round. "I met my wife sorta because I was in that car accident. I was home in Florida recovering from the surgery and that's when we met. "The worst thing that's ever happened to me led to me meeting my wife, then getting married and we have two kids now. The worst things that happened to me led to the best things that happened to me. "I wouldn't change it if I could," Cauley said. This week at The Memorial marked his first trip back to Muirfield Village in four years following complications from surgery. He has had a resurgent year on the PGA Tour in 2025. He has made 10 of 11 cuts entering The Memorial, including four top 10s. Cauley came in hot, finishing solo third at last week's Charles Schwab Challenge. Although his third round derailed any hopes of winning his first PGA Tour event this week, Muirfield Village will always have special meaning to Bud Cauley.

Team USA Wins Gold & Honours Johnny Gaudreau At 2025 World Championships
Team USA won the gold medal at the 2025 IIHF World Championships. After defeating Switzerland 1-0 in overtime, they snapped a 92-year drought without winning gold at the Worlds. When Team USA captain Clayton Keller went up to accept the trophy, he was joined by Columbus Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski, Buffalo Sabres' Tage Thompson, Nashville Predators' Brady Skjei and Vancouver Canucks' Connor Garland — all carrying a Gaudreau jersey. Advertisement They placed the jersey over the trophy in honour of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, who tragically passed away before the 2024-25 season. All year long, Team USA found ways to honour the Gaudreau brothers — including keeping Johnny's sweater hanging in his locker stall throughout the tournament. It's been a strong year for USA Hockey on the international stage, and it ended with a gold medal at the Worlds to finally end the 92-year wait. As mentioned, Werenski was part of the gold-winning team. That's exactly why he committed to going — he wanted to bring a gold medal back home before what will be a busy summer of weddings, including his own. Advertisement In the tournament, he finished with one goal and five assists for six points, was a +8, and had 21 shots on goal. Werenski will now shift his attention to his wedding. As for the Blue Jackets' organization and fans, focus turns to the NHL Draft on June 27th and 28th, followed by one of the most important free agencies in franchise history.
