Gaudreau, who was killed in August along with brother by an alleged drunk driver, was honored by one of his former teams after he helped inspire their gold-medal run.

Ten players from three of the conference’s schools — six from Boston College, three from Boston University, and one from Providence — were part of the 25-man roster.

The United States won back-to-back gold medals for the first time and host Canada lost for the second year in a row in the quarterfinals.
