The Calgary Flames will repurpose items left at a memorial for Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau to fundraise for local charities.

Hockey sticks, jerseys and homemade signs were carefully removed from the steps of the Saddledome on Monday morning, as a 13-day observance to celebrate former Calgary Flames star Johnny Gaudreau came to an end.

The brothers were killed in August by an impaired driver while they were riding bicycles, on the eve of their sister’s wedding. Calgarians quickly flocked to the Saddledome in memory of the hockey star, leaving jerseys, hockey sticks, flowers, sports drinks, Skittles and other items in his memory.

The team said in its release that any edible items no longer fit for consumption will be counted, and the Flames "will make a commensurate financial contribution to the Calgary Food Bank." Related: Jaromir Jagr Recalls Memorable Johnny Gaudreau Moment with ...
