The NHL will honor Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau with helmet stickers worn by all 32 teams from the season's opening night until October 24, 2024. Players will wear decals featuring a capital 'G' with No. 13 on one side, representing Johnny Gaudreau's number, and No. 21 on the other for Matthew Gaudreau. This tribute comes after the tragic loss of the brothers, who were killed in a bicycle accident in New Jersey on August 29.
The Blue Jackets have made special arrangements to remember the Gaudreau brothers, including placing their memorial sticker on helmets embellished with two white doves, alongside the brothers' numbers. There is a poignant moment of silence prior to their first home preseason game, underscoring the community's respect and mourning for their loss. The team is also planning a pregame memorial for their home opener on October 15, focusing on honoring the brothers and their legacy.
