NOTTINGHAM, England —
American hockey player Adam Johnson has died after a "freak accident" during a game in England on Saturday, his club said.
The 29-year-old Minnesota native was playing for the Nottingham Panthers in a Challenge Cup game against the Sheffield Steelers when he suffered a slashed neck during the second period of the game at Sheffield's Utilita Arena.

"The Nottingham Panthers are truly devastated to announce that Adam Johnson has tragically passed away following a freak accident at the game in Sheffield last night," the team said Sunday morning.
"The Panthers would like to send our thoughts and condolences to Adam's family, his partner, and all his friends at this extremely difficult time. Everyone at the club including players, staff, management and ownership are heartbroken at the news of Adam's passing."
Minnesota-born Johnson played for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the National Hockey League before spending the 2020-21 season in Sweden with the Malmo Redhawks.
He went on to play in Canada for the Ontario Reign and in Germany for the Augsburger Panther before agreeing to join Nottingham for the 2023-24 campaign.

We must pass laws to prevent this sort of thing. Maybe outlaw some stuff. Put a rubber edge on the hockey sticks or something.

They’ve had neck protectors around for years, just for that reason.

Stick didn't get him.
Dam shame, unfortunately accidents happen in a game like hockey.
My daughter got the shidt knocked out of her today. A boy checked her hard. After the game, she laughed about and said puberty sucks.
Hockey is a rough sport, never want to see anyone killed but it's a risk.
