The Columbus Blue Jackets, as an organization, have done an excellent job of honoring Johnny Gaudreau's life in the month that has passed since his untimely death.

Today, the team took things to the next level.

Over a dozen members of the team showed up to celebrate Johhnny's daughter Noa Gaudreau's 2nd birthday with friends and family. Johnny's wife Meredith Gaudreau shared photos on her Instagram account and it showed a fun farm animal themed party complete with milk and cookie bar. And Johnny's teammates reportedly went over and above to make the day special for young Noa.

RIP, Johnny.

Major respect to the Blue Jackets' players for continually showing up for this family. I know it's only been a month, but the organization, the staff and the players all seem committed to supporting the Gaudreau's in the difficult years to come.

Finally, and most importantly: Happy birthday, Noa!
