The brothers started playing hockey in our Affiliate. They had stellar youth careers playing in the AYHL, before going on to the USHL and NCAA. Following their amateur play, both Johnny and Matthew had shining professional careers in the NHL and AHL, respectively. 

Both played with a love for the game, sharing a passion for time spent on the ice having fun. They were an example of how hockey is a family affair, and their father, Guy, joined them on the bench for several seasons as coach for their youth team. Their joy filled arenas and electrified fans. We will deeply miss their presence in our rinks and send our deepest condolences to the Gaudreau family.
