Johnny Gaudreau's wife, Meredith, reacts to Cole Caufield's number change
Johnny Gaudreau's wife, Meredith Gaudreau, has just reacted to the Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield's number change.
Let's remember that a few days ago, Caufield announced that he had decided to change his usual number 22 to number 13, and he did so in honor of Johnny Hockey.
It's a very classy gesture from Caufield, who described Gaudreau as his hero and role model.

Hayes left a sweet comment, spelling Caufield's first name backward.
She responded with this comment:
Indeed, Caufield and Gaudreau played together at the most recent World Championship while representing the United States.
They also had the chance to see each other a few times over the last weeks and during the summer.
Here's a reminder of Cole Caufield's message when he announced his number change:
Playing alongside your hero is something most people can only dream of. I was fortunate enough to be Johnny's teammate last summer, and it didn't take long for me to realize what an amazing person he was. He was the most welcoming, genuine, and funny guy I've ever met. Everyone gravitated toward him, and I took every opportunity I could to be around him. Not only was he an exceptional hockey player and teammate, but he was also down-to-earth and truly cared about every person he met.
The last few years playing under number 22 have been some of the best of my life. It was truly a dream come true, and I will always hold those memories and that number close to me. I wore number 13 at one point in my career because of Johnny, and I will now wear it again to honor him. He paved the way for smaller players and showed that we have a future in this game at the highest level. I will always be grateful for the inspiration he gave me and others.
Rest in peace, Johnny Hockey."
- Cole Caufield
It's truly touching.
Once again, we extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau.
