Mike Zeisberger: Gaudreau shares emotional All-Star experience with dad

"He was quiet at first, but I think he hates losing more than me. In this case, though, I think he had more fun than me.
"He coached me in high school, in minor hockey, all the way until I went away to junior when I was 16. He watches every one of my games. If I play well, I call him. If I don't, he calls me."

Difficult to find a more likeable human than Guy Gaudreau. Seeing him on the bench and involved in the weekend with Johnny was definitely my highlight. Move the whole family to Calgary so Johnny never has to leave

What a unique experience! This is so cool. With everything the Gaudreaus have gone through in the last while with Guy's health, this is something special. A story like this would only add more salt to some of those tears (from the goofs to the north), but this is a memory they will share forever. Great stuff!

Terrific idea and what a classy effort by the Flames organization to make that happen!
It is a privilege to be a STH for this organization.
I suspect we will see other parents' behind the bench at All-Star games in future years.

Being behind the bench must've sure beat being behind a bunch of babies in the stands.

Would be so much fun to be on a long playoff run with (watching) Guy every step of the way. He would be more nervous than Johnny.
