TVA Sports will feature an emotional interview tonight between Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield and journalist Renaud Lavoie.
As mentioned earlier, this poignant discussion will take place during the pregame show before the Canadiens’ game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The conversation is expected to be heartfelt, with Caufield reflecting on the loss of his friend and idol, Johnny Gaudreau.
Here’s a glimpse of what to expect:
“In the first few days after, I was in shock and couldn’t do anything. Then suddenly, I thought, I want to represent him by changing my number. It’s a number I had already worn in his honor. I didn’t know if it would work out. I want to honor him for the rest of my life.” – Cole Caufield
While we knew that Johnny Gaudreau’s passing had a profound impact on Caufield, we didn’t realize just how deep that grief ran. The pain of such a loss is unimaginable.
What is certain is that Johnny would be incredibly proud of his friend Cole Caufield right now. He is having a remarkable season and is establishing himself as a commendable athlete.
At just 23 years old, Caufield has netted 12 goals in 17 games while wearing the legendary number 13. Beyond his performance on the ice, he is emerging as an inspiring young man and a great role model for future generations.
