The Gaudreau family is reflecting on their time attending the 2026 Winter Olympics more than one year after Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were tragically killed. "When we were first invited to Milan for the Olympics, we said no. It felt like more than we could handle," the Gaudreau family wrote in a statement to X on Saturday, February 28. "But we kept thinking about what John and Matty would say if they knew we turned it down. We knew the answer. John loved representing his country. From the time he was little, he dreamed of competing at the Olympics.
