That's awful. I feel terrible for their family. What a tragedy.

 

[Edgelord]

Oh man, what a bummer, I'm soo sad for their families.
Skimming through the posts it looked like his brother was about to get married.(edit) I its their sister getting married not Matthew
This is just horrible.

So Very Sad

I can't even begin to imagine what this family is going through.

2 sons, 2 brothers die on the eve of their sister's wedding. Jonny Hockey leaves behind 2 babies and a wife.

I had hoped the rumors weren't true, but as the night wore the silence was deafening.

Rest in Peace Jonny. Hockey will miss you.

Just an unbelievable tragic day.

Man, this is horrible.

 

[Hanji]

And driver who killed them was a cyclist himself, at least that’s what his FB page shows.
Ugh.

RIP Gaudreau brothers.

Nice article by the Columbus Dispatch, where they're focused on the important stuff: View attachment 903984

Now it says:

Heading toward training camp, new coach Dean Evason appeared to have two of his three forward spots filled on the top line with Gaudreau at left wing and Monahan in the middle. Now, a week after trading Patrik Laine to the Montreal Canadiens, there’s a large void of proven elite wingers and a much bigger emptiness in the hearts and minds of Gaudreau's family, teammates and all those who knew him.

absolutely heart breaking. RIP to both men.

An almost unfathomable tragedy. I hope the family can find peace one day - I can’t imagine the pain right now.

My favourite player to watch on the Flames! I will always remember that goal he scored against Dallas in OT to win the series for them.

RIP, Johnny Hockey

 

[Coaches Coroner]

I can tell you that you don't get over losing a sibling at that age. Let alone 2. RIP Johnny and Matthew.

As a person, he was a beauty. Was lucky to get him to sign my hat back when he was young.

As a player... i think he was robbed of the Hart trophy in 2022. I know plus minus is a trash stat, but there is something to be said about the highest plus minus since Wayne Gretzky in the 80s while leading your team to the conference title.

He was entertaining... there's a reason even Connor McDavid called him his favourite player.

He was all about family. I can't imagine what they are going through having lost John and Matthew. I don't think I've felt this sad about a celebrity death. Absolutely tragic

Hopefully someone they work with read the original and said "what is wrong with you?"

They're talking about if it's confirmed that it was a drunk driver or not.

Says it was updated, but could probably still use further revisions.

Talking about his "disappointing seasons" in the same article? Who greenlit this one?

I doubt there are editors anymore. Article probably are likely just printed as submitted.

Further reinforces that it doesn’t matter how well things are going, our last breath could be 5 minutes from now. We must act accordingly and truly appreciate the time we have.

Yes, we must try to enjoy each day and our loved ones, as any day could be the last.

RIP Johnny
