Johnny 'Hockey' Gaudreau (born August 13, 1993) is an American ice hockey player who is currently playing for the Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team in the NCAA Men's Division I Hockey East conference. He was selected by the Calgary Flames in the 4th round (104th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Gaudreau owes much of his success to his father, Guy Gaudreau, who devotedly coached his teams until his departure from the South Jersey area to play in the USHL in 2010. Listed at 5'6”, Gaudreau was one of the shortest players taken at the 2011 draft. He originally signed a Letter of Intent to play with Hockey East rival Northeastern University but opted for Boston College when Northeastern Hockey coach Greg Cronin resigned in June 2011, to take a position with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Gaudreau played the 2010–11 season with the Dubuque Fighting Saints in the United States Hockey League where he played in the 2011 USHL All-Star Game and helped his team win the Clark Cup as the USHL Champions. Gaudreau's outstanding play during the season was rewarded with him being selected to the USHL All-Rookie Team and to the All-USHL Second Team. He was also recognized as the USHL Rookie of the Year.
After attending the Calgary Flames training camp, Gaudreau played the 2011–12 season for the Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team in the NCAA Men's Division I Hockey East conference. As a freshman, Gaudreau went on to score 21 goals and 23 assists in 44 games, leading all freshmen in scoring. Gaudreau played an integral part in Boston College's win in the Frozen Four tournament, scoring a goal in a 4–1 win in the final over Ferris State. Gaudreau was awarded the Bill Flynn Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of the Hockey East Championship Tournament. Gaudreau also helped Boston College win the traditional Beanpot Tournament and was named "Beanpot MVP" after the tournament.
Gaudreau was selected to represent the United States in the 2013 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. He led the team with seven goals and tied for the team lead with nine points, as Team USA won the gold medal. He was also named to the tournament All Star team.
