A tragic report has surfaced shaking the NHL community sharing that Johnny Gaudreau has passed away at 31 years old alongside his brother during a biking accident.

Over the past 12 hours, social media has been put into a frenzy after reports of Johnny Gaudreau's passing were shared and many things leaked online.

We have just received the horrible news that Columbus Blue Jackets star forward Johnny Gaudreau has passed away in a bicycle accident in New Jersey alongside his brother, Matthew Gaudreau.

Gaudreau was reportedly in town for his sister's wedding before he passed which is supposed to be today.

It was just now reported by the Blue Jackets that the Gaudreau report was true.

Gaudreau, 31 years old, had spent his entire NHL career with the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Calgary Flames. He made the all-star game seven times throughout his NHL career. However, Gaudreau will be remembered for the person he was off the ice and not the achievements he made because of his on-ice performances.

The hockey world mourns the loss of Gaudreau and his brother. We send our deepest condolences to Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau's loved ones and hope that they can get through this trying time. May Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau rest in peace.
