Since the tragic death of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, in August, the hockey community has paid tributes in honor of the late NHL stars from time to time. On Thursday, Johnny’s wife, Meredith, shared a picture of a fan wearing a custom-made jersey in honor of the late NHLer on her Instagram story.

The story featured a fan standing in the arena seating area, wearing a custom split jersey made out of a Calgary Flames Gaudreau shirt and a Blue Jackets Gaudreau shirt.

“Made my day seeing this at the game tonight,” Meredith wrote in the caption.

The red half of the jersey was red and featured half of the words for "JOHNNY HOCKEY" in yellow letters, with yellow and white sleeve stripes. The right half of the jersey was navy blue with red and yellow sleeve stripes.

Johnny’s iconic No. 13 was featured in the back of the fused jersey in the Flames and CBJ colors. His name was also written in a similar fashion.
