The English ice hockey club Nottingham Panthers announced on Sunday the death of American Adam Johnson, aged 29, who suffered a terrible injury on Saturday during a match. “The Nottingham Panthers regret to announce that Adam Johnson has tragically passed away following an accident during the match in Sheffield last night,” the English Premier League club wrote in a statement on Sunday.
The American, a former player for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL in particular, reportedly suffered a cut to his neck during the Cup match between Nottingham and Sheffield on Saturday. While Sheffield led 2-1 six minutes from the end of the second period, a clash pitted Johnson against an opponent. The latter, caught in speed, stretched his leg back and hit the player’s face with his skate.
The medical staff were unable to stop the bleeding
The cut immediately triggered a flood of blood that forced Johnson to rush off the ice. At that moment, the incident didn’t seem as serious. But the medical profession was unable to stop the violent hemorrhage.
The English Hockey League has decided to postpone all matches scheduled for Sunday
