Adam Johnson died after suffering a cut to the neck during a game between Nottingham Panthers and Sheffield Steelers
"I am sufficiently concerned that deaths may occur in the future if neck guards or protectors are not worn." Those are the words of Senior Coroner Tanyka Rawden who is investigating the death of Nottingham Panthers star Adam Johnson who died after a collision with a Sheffield Steelers player at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield on Saturday, October 28.
"The matters of concern are as follows: The International Ice Hockey Federation recommends that neck guards or protectors are worn, but there is no requirement for ice hockey players over the age of 18 to wear equipment designed to protect the neck. Some players have been pictured wearing them since the awful tragedy in Sheffield. The Steelers themselves were pictured wearing them during a training session this week, which is fantastic to see.
While Ms Rawden's report asks for a response from the IIHF within 56 days, the Elite League does have the power to set its own rules on the matter. How those in charge can watch games continue - as they did last weekend and as they will at the scene of the tragedy this weekend - knowing they have not acted when they could have done is beyond me.
