I urge everyone to never drink and drive, said Madeline Gaudreau, Matthews wife. Call a ride. Please do not put another family through this torture. The loss of Matty and John will leave a hole in the family, with his close friends, the community for eternity.
A GoFundMe to support Madeline Gaudreau, who is pregnant with the couples first child, has surpassed $645,000, with donations from nearly 9,000 people pouring in, many from NHL players and their families.
