Website parts ways with journalist after unverified report on Johnny Gaudreau's tragedy

The hockey world was hit hard this morning with the tragic news of Johnny Gaudreau's death, along with his brother Matthew, in a biking accident on Thursday night.

The loss of the 31-year-old Johnny and 30-year-old Matthew, had left us all in shock and mourning. What saddened fans more was the fact their sister's wedding was scheduled for Friday night and the two were due to be groomsmen.

Sean Higgins, the man responsible for hitting them with his car while drunk driving, has been charged with two counts of vehicular homicide in connection with the accident and was arrested.

Amid the grief, attention has turned to the journalist who initially spread an unverified report about the tragedy. The backlash against this reporter, including criticism from figures like Tony Androckitis, has been intense.

In response, Flyers Nitty Gritty, the site that employed the journalist, has decided to part ways with them.

Our hearts are with the Gaudreau family and all those affected by this devastating news. This situation emphasizes the crucial need for journalistic integrity and respecting privacy, especially during such difficult times.

Let's remember to honor Johnny and Matthew with the respect and sensitivity they deserve. It'll be interesting to see how they're honored by the hockey community and Blue Jackets, and Calgary Flames, and Boston College where they both won a national championship and decided to go there together with Johnny even de committing from Northeastern.
