An Amazing Gesture by Cole Caufield
An Amazing Gesture by Cole Caufield
Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield will be changing his number from 22 to 13 this season to honor the late Johnny Gaudreau, Caufield announced Tuesday.
Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were killed last Thursday in a traffic crash while riding bicycles in New Jersey, sending the hockey world into a state of mourning. The tragedy especially stuck with Caufield.
As an undersized player, Caufield looked up to Gaudreau as proof that you didn’t need to be the biggest guy to thrive in the NHL. When Caufield played for the under-18 team at the United States National Team Development Program in 2018-19, he wore No. 13 and broke the program’s single-season goal record previously held by Auston Matthews.

It's a classy gesture.Hope Caufield has his best season yet.40 goals would be nice.
Good for Cole…great gesture and it puts him in front of Suzuki’s 14. Hope Cole has a great year.
From the heart what more can be said
Cole caufeild is amazing
It's a nice story. He always liked number 13.
Lots of people will have to change the number on their jerseys.
Coal coughs a gold ✨️ gesture and scores 50 . For Johhny🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
totally a respectful thing…he knew Johnny, played with him, looked up to him, met his family and apparently gave both widows a cheque for 20k each to help them as he met with them after the untimely death…..the real sad thing is the murderer worked for a drug and alcohol treatment provider so he knew better
Perfect. This AI voiceover function is useful but still limited. As for Caufield's decision, it impressed me and even helped me. I am always stunned when a young person dies. Those brothers have a nice memorial now.
