Gaudreau, 31, died on August 29, 2024, in a bicycle/auto collision, in Oldmans Twp, N.J. His brother Matthew died in the same incident.

"Johnny Hockey" was a diminutive, offensively dominant winger with an incredibly high level of skill. Possessed the elusiveness to avoid being taken out, and the creativity to start and finish plays. Exhibited incredible puck control, strength on his skates, stickhandling ability, and a very good forehand and backhand shot which was off of his stick in the blink of an eye. All-in-all, the prototypical offensive winger who could put up points, and be relied upon to create scoring chances, whenever he was on the ice.

Father: Guy Gaudreau
Brother: Matthew Gaudreau
Cousin: Patrick Gaudreau
