“As the Olympics are set to begin, our family is filled with both pride and heartache knowing how much this moment meant to John.
Representing Team USA at the Olympics was one of his greatest dreams.
In that final summer, John was training harder than ever, with his dad, pushing himself to be in the best shape of his life. He was determined to earn his spot on that Olympic roster.
While it breaks our hearts that John won’t be there to live out that dream, we know he will be so very present with Team USA and all of his close friends competing throughout these games.
Our family will be cheering for every player wearing the red, white, and blue, and celebrating so many friends representing teams around the world.
As we work to ensure that John and Matty’s lives and legacies continue to be honored, moments like these remind us of the dreams they held and the impact they made on everyone who knew them. John loved this game and loved representing his country.
Though the Olympics will be bittersweet for our family, we find comfort knowing that in the hearts of his teammates, friends, and everyone who loved watching him play, John will be right there.
Go Team USA. We know John and Matty are watching with pride.
With love and gratitude,
The Gaudreau Family”

I am sure there have been a million adaptions to Martin Niemöller's original poem over the last 79 years, and it is one that always resonates deeply with me.
Here is my 2025 version, with full credit to the original author. Let's make sure history doesn't repeat itself.
