Flames relocate growing Saddledome memorial for Johnny Gaudreau ahead of concert

The Calgary Flames have announced changes to a growing memorial for Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew that was set up outside the west entrance of the Scotiabank Saddledome.

The team says they will be relocating a portion of the mementos to allow for access to the arena ahead of a Tuesday night concert.

The memorial has continued to grow daily since the death of the brothers was confirmed on Friday.

Fans are now encouraged to place items in tribute to Johnny and Matthew along the grassy area immediately north of the stairs. The team says they will have more details soon about a tribute honouring the pair.

Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, were killed while cycling on a rural two-lane road near their home in Salem, N.J. late Thursday.

Police said 43-year-old Sean M. Higgins is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and charged with two counts of death by auto, along with reckless driving, possession of an open container and consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle. He was jailed at the Salem County Correctional Facility.
