During the match, the edge of a skate accidentally cut Adam Johnson’s neck, he died in the hospital from the injury – writes the BBC. The accident happened in the 35th minute of the Nottingham Panthers-Sheffield Steelers match.
When the paramedics rushed to treat him while still on the ice, the players stood around him until the screen arrived, which was later pulled up around him. He was taken to hospital a short time later, where he eventually died. The accident happened in front of 8,000 spectators.
The 29-year-old American hockey player previously played in the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins, as well as in the Swedish and German leagues. The Panthers signed him in August.
