Description

John Michael Gaudreau (born August 13, 1993) was an American professional ice hockey winger for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL).
He played for the NCAA Division I's Boston College Eagles from 2011 to 2014. Gaudreau was selected by the Flames in the fourth round, 104th overall, of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Nicknamed "Johnny Hockey," he was the 2014 winner of the Hobey Baker Award as the best player in the NCAA, and, during his first full NHL season in 2014–15, he was selected to play in the 2015 NHL All-Star Game and was a Calder Memorial Trophy finalist for the NHL's best rookie. He won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy as the NHL's most gentlemanly player for the 2016–17 season.

August 29, 2024, Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver while they were cycling in Oldmans Township, New Jersey.
