In a tragic incident during an ice hockey match, Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson lost his life when an opponent’s skate blade accidentally cut his throat.

Despite immediate medical attention, including CPR performed on the ice, Johnson could not be saved. His girlfriend, Ryan Wolfe, paid a heartfelt tribute to him, expressing her love and grief on Instagram.

Supporters rallied around the distraught opponent, Matt Petgrave, who was involved in the accident. The incident has prompted calls for professional players to wear neck guards, which are currently mandatory only for players under 20.
