GoFundMe for Matthew Gaudreau's family reaches unfathomable milestone

It is a horrific tragedy, especially when you consider the family members that were left behind. Matthew's wife Madeline was expecting her first child. They are having a boy named Tripp, and when news of Gaudreau's passing became official, fans sprung into action. A GoFundMe was created for Madeline, and as of today, it has reached a tremendous milestone.

If you go to the link down below, you can see that over $536,000 has been raised so far. It just goes to show that the hockey community is a strong and relentless one that helps its own.

While no amount of money can bring back the lives that were lost, this money will at least help the family go on for the foreseeable future. Raising a child is not easy, but with the strength of her family and community behind her, Madeline will prevail.

This is an incredibly difficult time for the Gaudreau family, and we extend our condolences to the family. We hope they are able to find peace during this extremely rough set of circumstances.
