Ice hockey players in England will be required to wear neck guards from the start of 2024 following the death of Adam Johnson.
SHEFFIELD, England — Ice hockey players in England will be required to wear neck guards from the start of 2024 following the death of American player Adam Johnson in a game. Johnson’s neck was cut by a skate blade on Saturday. The English Ice Hockey Association, which governs ice hockey in England below the Elite League, announced measures on Monday to improve player safety. Neck guards will be mandatory from Jan. 1 for all on-ice activities.
The 29-year-old Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers when he suffered the skate cut in a Champions Cup game. He was a Minnesota native who appeared in 13 NHL games with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2019 and 2020. Within 12 months, the EIHA said it would conduct a “thorough” review of player safety equipment “including, but not limited to, the use of helmets, mouthguards/gumshields and facial protection.
