Several hours after the confirmation of the sad news of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother's passing, the sports world remains deeply affected.
Meredith, the wife of the former NHL star, has just released her first statement following the tragic death of the father of two children.
Her touching message quickly brings a tear to the eye:
"The best dad in the world. So caring and loving. The best parenting partner in the world. John never missed a single appointment. He was the best at putting the baby to sleep. I love seeing how much she looks like him.
We will make you proud. We love you so, so much, Dad."
