The night before their youngest sister’s wedding, Johnny Gaudreau, 31, and Matthew Gaudreau, 29, two brothers and soon-to-be groomsmen from a tight-knit hockey family rode their bikes down a county road not far from their southern New Jersey hometown. Instead of celebrating this weekend, their family, now has two funerals to plan as the sports world mourns. On Thursday night, a Jeep driver with the smell of alcohol later detected on his breath, police said, traveled northbound on the same road as the cycling Gaudreau brothers. The driver's next move transformed the Thursday night bike ride of brothers into tragedy as he attempted to pass an SUV on the right lane and struck Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. They would not live to see their sister say, “I do.” Condolences poured in throughout the weekend for the brothers at sporting events and makeshift memorials across the country. Seven-time NHL All-Star Johnny Gaudreau, who spent 11 seasons in the league, was drafted to Canada’s Calgary Flames in 2011 out of college and later signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets ahead of the 2022-2023 season. The enthusiastic athlete had 243 career goals and 743 points. Even the 98-degree sweltering heat recorded in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday could not prevent heartbroken yet devoted fans from gathering as they held lit candles and placed flowers, teddy bears, hockey sticks and signed cards outside Nationwide Arena, home of the Columbus Blue Jackets, video from CNN affiliate WBNS showed.

Five of them were taken from an Israeli music festival where hundreds were killed and dozens more were kidnapped by Hamas fighters. The sixth was captured from a nearby farming community, according to the Hostages Families Forum, which has coordinated efforts to highlight the plight of the captives and their families, and push for their release.

When it comes to maintaining a regular sleep schedule, sometimes a busy week can throw everything out of whack even when you have the best of intentions. Naturally, catching up on sleep over the weekend is often the solution. New research suggests doing so may even benefit your heart health, amounting to a 19% lower risk of developing heart disease, according to a research abstract published Thursday. Data on participants' sleep quantity was measured using activity-monitoring watches, and was divided into four groups, from those who compensated for lost sleep on weekends the least to those who did the most. After a follow-up period of nearly 14 years on average, the group with the most weekend compensatory sleep was 19% less likely to develop cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and stroke, compared with the group compensating for sleep the least on weekends.
