Calgary Flames fans remember Johnny Gaudreau with lovely gestures

Johnny Gaudreau tragically lost his life as he was biking with his brother Matthew last night in the state of New Jersey. A drunk driver rammed into them from behind and they sadly passed away immediately.

Today, people from the city of Calgary and Flames fans gathered to remember the former Flames player, as many brought flowers and jerseys and laid them on the ground in front of the Saddledome where the team plays.

Although Flames fans were once disappointed in Johnny Gaudreau's departure to Columbus, at the end of the day he is a human being and that is more important than a sport. No matter who you cheer for, you never want to see someone get hurt, let alone lose their life, so this was truly an honorable act by the Flames fans to show their support to Johnny and the Gaudreau family.

The Calgary Flames drafted Johnny Gaudreau back in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft in the fourth round. He would play nine long seasons with the organization, before moving on as a free agent to Columbus in 2022. Over his 763 career NHL games, Gaudreau scored 243 goals and added 500 assists, for 743 points.

Johnny Hockey will truly be missed by Flames fans and all of the people around the league. May he rest in peace.
