It has been confirmed, Johny Hockey and his brother have passed away while cycling last night.
Please go pay your respect.
I know this isn't Habs related news, but I would like to send a hearthfull message to the Colombus Blue Jacket community by centralizing all our condoleance of the r/habs community for them. This is a human tragedy first and foremost and I hope I speak for many here saying that Johny was a well liked player all over.

Awful and heartbreaking.
Absolutely heartbreaking, tragic and worst of all, preventable. RIP Johnny Gaudreau.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to be a member of his immediate family. My most heartfelt condolences goes out to them.
Fucking tragic. Rest in peace to Johnny and Matthew.
My alarm just rang and I had 3 notifications about his passing.
What a fucking tragedy.
RIP to Johnny and Matthew. Can’t even begin to imagine what the family is going through, especially in the day if their sister’s wedding.
Stay safe out there everyone. Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.
Horrifying and devastating news. I was really hoping this wouldn’t be true. Godamn. RIP Johnny Hockey and Matthew. Incomprehensible.
Deepest sympathies.
His sister’s wedding was going to be today. Absolutely devastating 💔
What the fuck
Unimaginably sad for that whole family. Rest in peace Johnny Hockey and Matthew.
I’m sick to my stomach, gone way too soon.
Just terrible. Condolences to the Gaudreau family
Rest in Peace to both Johnny and Matthew. My deepest sympathies and condolences to their immediate families and family members and friends. Their sister’s wedding was supposed to be today I believe…sickening 💔
This is so unbelievably sad, what a tragedy, such a young guy full of life and potential… 🥺
So incredibly sad for his family and friends. RIP Johnny.
Can’t help but think of Sean Monahan today too. Signed in Columbus this summer to reunite with one of his best friends. Sending him some love today too.
Jesus as a parent this would be a nightmare I don’t think I would ever get out of. Such a sad day.
This is so fucking sad I can’t imagine how his teammates are feeling, I saw a couple days ago Monahan say he was excited to play with Johnny Hockey again. Fucking crushing
Unbelievable and so tragic. RIP, Johnny Hockey and his Brother.
awful. there are no words.
wtf… man nah… 😭😭😭
He looked like a genuinely nice person. So tragic. Condolences to the family
So many are touched by this.
– kids have lost their dad
– parents lost their son
– sisters lost their brother (the day before one of them was to be married)
– Blue Jackets lost a 2nd teammate and friend in not that long of a time span.
Then you have guys like Monahan that signed with Columbus likely in the hopes to reconnect with a friend. What a shit situation.
One of those ones that’s not going to feel real for a long time. That poor family, man.
Cannot believe what I just read. He was big during his Calgary stint; always a threat when he played against us. Such sad news.
This is so sad! We as humans spend all of our time divided over politics and arguing about sports and other stupid shit when we should be spending time appreciating life and our loved ones! Life is to short and you just never know when your time is up! My heart goes out to all his family, friends and anyone he as ever touched.
