Gaudreau Family Rejoices as Team USA Salutes Late Star at Olympics

Team USA’s moving tribute to late hockey star Johnny Gaudreau—hanging his No. 13 jersey in the locker room and carrying it onto the ice after the gold-medal win—elicited heartfelt responses from his widow Meredith Gaudreau and sister Katie Gaudreau, who thanked the squad on social media and on Fox News. The homage also included Gaudreau’s children, Johnny Jr. and Noa, in the celebration, honoring a player who had been slated to compete for Team USA before his 2024 death.
