Super sad to hear that this has happened. Johnny brought me back to having an interest in hockey when I'd given up watching. He was the most fun player in the last decade or more for me and provided a lot of good memories and joy that I shared with friends. I only knew him as a fan of his game, but the good times he generated were real and I'm grateful for the fun and good memories he brought me.

Johnny Hockey was a special one. Tragic that his family have lost him and his brother. I have nothing but condolences and well wishes for all of them, and especially for his wife and his two young kids.

Thank you, Johnny, for all the joy and fun you brought in life. It was cut too short. It's said the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long. Johnny shone brightly and shared a lot of light in his time.
