John Tortorella had a former hockey coach help him Monday at Philadelphia Flyers training camp — the father of the late John and Matthew Gaudreau, who was an invited guest.On Monday, Guy Gaudreau, pictured, assisted with drills at the Flyers' practice in Voorhees, N.J. He is the father of late NHL player Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, who were killed on Aug. 29 when police said they were struck by a suspected drunken driver while riding bicycles.
Tortorella said he had never met Gaudreau, a former hockey player and coach who raised his family nearby, until Monday's practice in New Jersey. Tortorella said Gaudreau had an open invitation to return and help the Flyers at any point. "I thought the two wives were so strong in how they handled themselves," Tortorella said. "No one can imagine. No one can. I'm hoping to get to know the family. I think a number of coaches want to get to know the family, the girls, Matt's family. It's just horrible what happened. It's still pretty fresh. It's here. It's with us. Down the street. We just want to be part of it and try and help.
