Hockey fans are devastated by the tragic loss of Columbus Blue Jackets and former Calgary Flames winger Johnny Gaudreau, who, along with his brother, was killed in a bicycle accident in New Jersey.
The brothers were struck by a Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Sean Higgins, who admitted to consuming alcohol before the crash.
The accident occurred just hours before the brothers were to serve as groomsmen in their sister’s wedding, leaving the NHL community heartbroken.
The Columbus Blue Jackets expressed their grief and asked for privacy for the Gaudreau family during this difficult time.
