Meredith Gaudreau is having a tough time as the NHL season kicks off, and many Columbus Blue Jackets fans are feeling the weight of her words.

Her husband Johnny Gaudreau, tragically passed away at just 31 years old, along with his brother Matthew, 29, due to a devastating accident while riding their bikes last month on the eve of their sister Katie's wedding.

Meredith shared her feelings on Instagram.

It's been really hard watching hockey start up and seeing how different my life is now.


In her post, she also mentioned Sean Monahan, best friend of Johnny's, who joined the Blue Jackets this offseason after Johnny had convinced him to come to Columbus. The two spent nine years together as linemates and neighbors on the Calgary Flames.

But watching Sean wear CBJ is something I know John always always wanted. Noa loves cheering for Uncle Sean too. Wishing 23 a good training camp and can't wait to cheer you on.


Meredith has two young children, and she recently announced she's expecting another. She sees her family as a blessing even amidst this tragedy.


The team plans to honor Johnny's and Matthew's memory with special patches and stickers on their jerseys. It's a way for all of us, as fans, to remember his impact on the team and the brothers legacy in the hockey community.

It's going to be a bittersweet season, but we know Johnny and Matthew will always be a part of the Blue Jackets family.
