Call it something special, but the way traditions come full circle, it just ends up tying families with different communities, sports, and some shared moments. Didn’t get it? Well, Jane Gaudreau, mother of the late Gaudreau brothers, just shared a heartfelt message on NHL.com. “It’s going to do so much good, and it’s going to honor John and Matty,” Jane said while their family takes part in something incredibly special. And hey, it begins before the first pitch.
This time, it’s not just about baseball. It’s an honor to the two beloved brothers, Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau, who are embracing legacy while bringing the MLB and NHL communities together. With the Gaudreau family all set to host its first-ever community 5K run on Saturday, they will be stepping onto the baseball field on Tuesday for a touching tribute!
The Gaudreau Family 5k Officials shared the heartwarming update on X. “The Gaudreau family is set to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the @Phillies game this Tuesday, May 27, ahead of the inaugural Gaudreau Family 5K on Saturday. It’s a sweet reminder of when John “threw” out the first pitch at a Boston College baseball game,” the post read.
