Last year in the National Hockey League was sadly marked by the sudden death of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother.

It was an event that completely shocked and petrified the entire hockey world, and obviously threw a huge shower of cold water on the last season.

The two Gaudreau brothers will forever be etched in everyone’s memory.

We can never pay enough tribute to men as exceptional as these two brothers, and it’s by organizing various events in connection with this tragedy that we can honor the Gaudreaus in many good ways.

Yesterday, for example, the Gaudreau 5-kilometre walk was held in New Jersey and around the world of hockey.

And for the occasion, the Florida Panthers participated virtually.

Players, staff and their families all gathered to walk five kilometers in honor of the Gaudreau brothers.

It’s really a huge gesture of respect and kindness to take this time after a practice in preparation for the Stanley Cup Final.

The Panthers, who have no direct connection to Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, really didn’t have to participate in such an event, especially not in the middle of the Stanley Cup Final, but they took the time to do so.

And that, seriously, is very honourable.

In short, it was a wonderful event that took place last night, and brought many people together to honour the lives of two wonderful people.

About today – it was everything

Thank you and more to come. #GaudreauFamily5K #GaudreauStrong pic.twitter.com/kIpkI90mR8
