John Tortorella, coach of the Philadelphia Flyers and assistant coach for the U.S. at 4 Nations, brought Guy Gaudreau in to take part in a couple of practices early in the season. He also skated with Johnny's team in Columbus and his former team in Calgary.

U.S. coach Mike Sullivan called having Gaudreau there "an honor." Johnny Gaudreau, Guy's oldest son, likely would have been a member of the team if not for his tragic passing.

Gaudreau thought John — the NHL star known as “Johnny Hockey” — had a chance to play for the United States at the 4 Nations Face-Off. Instead, Dad was at dinner Monday night, in the team picture Tuesday and on the ice for the practice that followed.
