Cole Caufield changed his number to 13 in honour of Johnny Gaudreau
Hockey players around the NHL are finding amazing ways to pay tribute to Johnny Gaudreau, but Montreal Canadiens Cole Caufield has just made the ultimate move.
Johnny and his brother Matthew were struck by a vehicle near their home in Salem County, New Jersey, on Thursday night. Unfortunately, both Johnny and Matthew passed away as a result of the accident.
Caufield wore #22 last season for the Habs, but once upon a time, Caufield wore number 13 because of the player who was his inspiration, his model, the man who helped him believe that he could be a star in the NHL no matter how short he was: Johnny Gaudreau.
This an extremely classy move by the young Habs forward. Its very clear what kind of person Johnny Gaudreau was. It is very well documented that Gaudreau has always been a beloved member of the locker room, but now were seeing the full extent of the impact Gaudreau had on the world.
