Grief is a powerful emotion that few can truly master. When someone we love passes away, it's the support of others that helps us carry on. The loss of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau has deeply affected many because we all understand how important that support can be.
The Snow family knows this pain all too well. Chris Snow, who served as the Calgary Flames' Assistant GM, passed away from ALS in September 2023. After hearing the tragic news of Johnny and Matthew's deaths, Kelsie Snow, who is active on social media, shared a touching message. Johnny Gaudreau and Chris Snow had crossed paths during their time with the Flames.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Kelsie referenced an earlier tweet from May 2022, where she had celebrated Gaudreau's game-winning goal that led the Flames past the Dallas Stars in the Stanley Cup playoffs. She reflected on how, in that moment, Johnny was a hero to her ten-year-old son, who was enduring unimaginable challenges. Now, Johnny is being remembered and thanked by those he unknowingly helped through their own difficult times.
As the hockey community mourns, it's important to honor Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, who were taken far too soon, and to support those who are hurting from this senseless tragedy. In these hard times, the world needs more people like Kelsie Snow and, of course, Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.
