Adam Sandler Honours Johnny Gaudreau in a Beautiful Way in New Movie Happy Gilmore 2

Johnny Gaudreau passed almost one year ago, and since the tragic events that took the life of he and his brother Matthew, countless tributes have been paid to the talented and beloved brothers as the hockey world continues to reel from their tragic loss.

Those tributes were especially beautiful in Calgary and Columbus, the two places that he called home throughout his NHL career, but elsewhere in sports and the media, fans and fellow celebrities paid tribute to the immensely talented forward known as Johnny Hockey.

Now, we've seen another, this time from Adam Sandler in the recently released Happy Gilmore 2, with Sandler's character wearing an Ice House Hockey jersey adorned with the iconic No. 13 that Gaudreau made so special throughout his career, and while it wasn't an in your face tribute, it was a subtle move to honour the late superstar.

It was a very subtle nod to Gaudreau, but it shows just how much the passing of No. 13 effected everyone attached to the sports community, and in a move that Sandler didn't have to make, he paid tribute to the talented forward from New Jersey.

Simply put, the effect that Gaudreau had on the entire hockey world will never be forgotten after his passing, as he won over an entire generation of hockey fans in Calgary before making plenty of fans in Columbus, and after his tragic passing, a year later he's still getting fantastic tributes, with Sandler, a noted hockey fan making a beautiful gesture towards Gaudreau.
