Maple Leafs forward Max Domi has released a touching video featuring Johnny Gaudreau in the wake of a horrible tragedy that took his life.
By now, nearly everyone is aware of the horrific accident on Thursday that claimed the lives of Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau, just one day before their younger sister's wedding in New Jersey.
Since that horrible announcement came in, the hockey world has banded around the Gaudreau family and the Flames and Blue Jackets organizations in a showing of support as they grieve the loss of a gifted player, teammate, friend, and family member.
Donations have poured in for Madeline Gaudreau, the wife of Matthew Gaudreau, and mother of his unborn son. Shrines have been set up outside of Nationwide Arena and Scotiabank Saddledome. Fans and players have posted tribute videos in memory of Johnny's NHL accomplshments and to celebrate his life. One of the players who had donated money and produced a tribute video for Johnny and Matthew was Max Domi, who shared his video with the world on Saturday.
The impact that Gaudreau had on the people around him was tremendous and the hockey community feels the weight of his loss.
With heavy hearts, everyone will press forward to training camps this month, but nobody will forget the lasting impression Gaudreau has made in the league and in his community.
