Johnny Gaudreau's widow gives birth to couple's third child​

Meredith Gaudreau, the widow of late NHL player Johnny Gaudreau, announced the arrival of the couple's third child.

Carter Michael Gaudreau was born on April 1, seven months after Johnny and his brother, Matthew, suffered fatal injuries when they were struck while cycling by a suspected drunk driver.

"I had our third baby! 4/1/25," Meredith posted Monday on Instagram, noting that the child has the same middle name and the "exact same" size (20.5 inches) and birthweight (8 pounds, 3 ounces) as his father.

"He looks exactly like his daddy too," she wrote alongside photos of her and the baby and their two other children, daughter Noa and son Johnny. "I love you so much my baby! We are going to have so much fun. I can't wait to give you the best life, my special boy forever."

Besides having to be Michigan, you mean

So far this week hasn't been too bad for TCUN. So I'm still holding.

Pretty surprised at the live tackling in practice and at the spring game although I respect it. As Belichick said "you have to practice football to get better at football"

Ohio State Spring Game to Feature Offense vs. Defense Scrimmage, Tackling After First Few Series​

Ohio State's spring game is sticking with the same format head coach Ryan Day has consistently opted for in recent years.

The Buckeyes will divide up their roster by offense and defense – offense will be the "Scarlet" side and defense will be the "Gray" – and they will face off against each other in a scrimmage open to the public at Ohio Stadium. Day will have his established veterans play "thud" tempo without tackling for the first couple of series before going full-go afterward.

"We'll break up offense and defense, and the first part of that will be thud for some of the guys who have played a lot of football," Day said. "But we'll be doing that. And then once that happens, after a few drives, we'll get right into it and we'll be tackling. The quarterbacks will not be live. But everybody else will. And it'll look like a normal spring game."

"Coming off of last year, my initial first two weeks after the season was, 'OK,' – I wasn't even thinking about anything moving forward – 'Boy, we have to take a step back in spring,'" Day said. "We just played 16 games. It's a long year. We have to be really smart. Our roster goes to 105. We can't afford to lose anybody. Got about a week-and-a-half into spring and realized, the guys who left played a lot of football, the majority of these guys haven't played a lot of football. ... It's actually become one of the most physical spring balls we've ever had."

Ohio State's spring game will kick off at noon Saturday and will be broadcast by Big Ten Network and 97.1 The Fan. Tickets remain available on Ohio State’s athletics website.

Just sayin': The NCAA roster limit of 105 kicks in this coming season.
