**Caufield Ditches Old Number, Goes with 13 to Honor Fucking Idol Gaudreau**

In the coming weeks and months, the hockey community will come together to pay tribute to the lives of two beloved figures, Johnny and Matty Gaudreau. The outpouring of support and admiration is a testament to the profound impact they had on everyone around them in the game. From teammates to opponents, their kindness, skill, and generosity inspired countless stories of their selflessness and compassion.

As the hockey world searches for ways to honor their memories, it’s essential to remember that there is no one “right” way to do so. Some may choose to wear jersey patches or helmet stickers, while others may advocate for retiring their numbers. The beauty lies in the individuality of each tribute, as it allows everyone to express their gratitude and admiration in a personal way.

One such gesture is Cole Caufield’s decision to switch to #13 this season. As a talented player in his own right, Caufield’s move is particularly poignant, given the similarities between his game and Johnny’s. It’s clear that Caufield drew inspiration from Johnny’s creativity and agility on the ice, and his switch to #13 serves as a heartfelt tribute to his hero.

For undersized players like Caufield, Johnny Gaudreau was a beacon of hope, proof that they too could succeed at the highest level. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations of players, and every time Caufield takes the ice, a part of Johnny will be with him.

In the midst of this tragedy, the strength and resilience of Johnny and Matty’s wives, Meredith and Madeline, have been a source of inspiration. The NHL would do well to find a way to honor these remarkable women, who have shown unwavering courage and determination in the face of unimaginable loss.

For those who wish to support Matty’s wife, Madeline, and their future baby Tripp, a GoFundMe page has been established to provide assistance during this difficult time.
