The wedding of Johnny Gaudreau’s sister has been canceled after the NHL star and their brother, Matthew Gaudreau, were killed by a suspected drunk driver, Page Six can confirm.
Katie Gaudreau and her fiancé, Devin Joyce, called off Friday’s nuptials at the Parish of St. Mary in Gloucester City, NJ, in the wake of Thursday’s tragedy.
The bride- and groom-to-be had been scheduled to walk down the aisle at the Roman Catholic church at 1:45 p.m., with Johnny and Matthew serving as groomsmen and their other sister, Kristen Venello, as a maid of honor.

Police said the driver, Sean M. Higgins, had attempted to pass two slow-moving vehicles and instead hit the siblings from behind on the eve of their sister’s big day.
Higgins, 43, reportedly failed a sobriety test and admitted to having consumed five or six beers before the incident.
He was jailed and charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, according to inmate records seen by Page Six.

The organization also sent their condolences to the left winger’s wife, Meredith Gaudreau, whom he married in September 2021, and their two children: daughter Noa, 1, and son Johnny Jr., 6 months.
Matthew was also a hockey player, having most recently played for the Worcester Railers.
