PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Johnny Gaudreau was finally home in New Jersey, the NHL star with showstopping skills back again this week for a big assist for his family as a groomsman in the wedding of baby sister Katie.

Little brother Matthew was part of the wedding party, too. So was the eldest of the four Gaudreau siblings, sister Kristen, the maid of honor. All were looking ahead to one more glorious day in a life seemingly filled with them as the first family of hockey in South Jersey.

The wedding was set for Friday at a Catholic church in New Jersey.
