NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, brother struck and killed by car while riding bikes in New Jersey​

NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother were killed while riding bikes on a rural New Jersey road Thursday night, according to authorities.

Investigators say Johnny and Matthew were cycling on Stumpy Lane in Oldmans Township around 8:30 p.m. when they were struck by a passing car.

The driver of the car did stay at the scene of the crash.

Nicknamed "Johnny Hockey," the former Boston College standout was a native of Salem, New Jersey and attended Gloucester Catholic High School in Gloucester City.

His younger brother, Matthew Gaudreau, played with Johnny at Boston College and is a minor league hockey player with the Reading Royals.

Their father, Guy Gaudreau, spent over a decade as a hockey coach at Gloucester Catholic.

Gaudreau, who was born in Salem, N.J.., played for the Blue Jackets and Calgary Flames across 11 seasons in the NHL. Last season, he appeared in 81 games and tallied 48 points.

He leaves behind his wife Meredith, and two children Noa, 1, and Johnny, 6 months.

The tragedy struck one day before the Gaudreau brothers were set to take part as groomsmen in their sister Katie’s wedding to hockey player Devin Joyce in Gloucester City, N.J.

Gaudreau grew up in Oldsman Township in New Jersey outside of Philadelphia and later attended Boston College, where he was named the Hobey Baker Award winner — college hockey’s highest individual award — in 2014.

The Flames selected Gaudreau in the fourth round during the 2011 NHL Draft.

Gaudreau was a finalist for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s top rookie, and appeared in the All-Star game seven times throughout his career.
