Johnny Gaudreau is someone who was beloved by the hockey world, although a month ago, he was killed in a horrific accident alongside his brother Matthew.

Since that time, Gaudreau and his brother have received numerous incredible tributes from the hockey world. He has also received a whole lot of love from his Columbus Blue Jackets teammates. Many of those teammates have been honoring Johnny in their personal lives. A good example of this can be seen in the Instagram story below, involving Erik Gudbranson and his two kids.

As Meredith Gaudreau reveals, Gudbranson had his two kids wearing custom Johnny Gaudreau jackets. Meredith was ecstatic to see this, and made that crystal clear. One of those things that you just love to see.

"Love these little guys."

This is one of those gestures that just speaks to the kind of impact that Johnny had on all of the people around him. He was beloved by his family and he was also beloved by his teammates. Players like Gudbranson and Sean Monahan know first hand just how special Gaudreau was. His legacy is certainly going to live on for a very long time.

Our heart continues to go out to the Gaudreau family during this very difficult time. We cannot imagine all of the pain and hurt they must be going through amidst this awful and inconceivable tragedy. We hope that they are able to find peace and comfort from family, friends, and the hockey community.
