Jane Gaudreau thanks Boston College for honoring late sons Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau at the tribute ceremony

On November 16, 2024, Jane Gaudreau, mother of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, thanked Boston College for honoring her late sons. The tribute took place at a hockey game on November 8, marking three months since their tragic deaths.

The Gaudreau family attended the event, wearing jerseys with their sons' numbers. They remembered fond moments of watching Johnny and Matthew play at the university.

Jane shared her gratitude on X (formerly Twitter), noting how the support from the community has meant a lot during this tough time. She also shared photos from the event, including one where the Gaudreau family wore jerseys with Johnny Gaudreau’s and Matthew’s old numbers—13 and 21. The brothers had played hockey at the university before turning pro.

"Thank you to @BC_MHockey for honoring our boys this past weekend. The love and support you’ve shown for John, Matty, and our entire family have helped us through the most difficult time of our lives," Jane shared the post on X.

"Many of our best hockey memories come from the six unforgettable years we spent watching John and/or Matty play at BC. The tribute Boston College gave to the boys was so special and we know they were especially happy for the two wins!," she tweeted.

The ceremony also paid tribute to the late player Tony Voce, with funds from jersey auctions donated to charity.
