The horrific death of English Ice Hockey Association<\/a> (EIHA) player Adam Johnson after being cut in the throat by a skate blade has led to a big rule change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The EIHA made an announcement on Monday, two days after Johnson\u2019s tragic accident, that players will be required to wear neck guards and protectors starting in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers when his throat was cut by a skate blade in a collision during a game against the Sheffield Panthers in Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) play on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“Undoubtedly, this moment in time casts a somber shadow upon our global sporting community<\/a>, serving as a stark reminder of our collective responsibilities as custodians of the sport,” the EIHA said in a statement. “As in all sports, the safety of our players must take precedence above all else. We are firmly committed to our obligation to exhaust every possible means to ensure that a tragic incident of this nature never befalls our sport again.”<\/p>\n

The EIHA explained that the recommendation to wear neck guards and protectors is a short-term safety protocol at all levels of English ice hockey. That recommendation will run through Dec. 31.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the new year arrives, it will be mandatory at all levels to wear the neck guards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s only the first step of the EIHA\u2019s plan. They want “relevant stakeholders” to take part in a review with the EIHA regarding all aspects of player safety equipment, which includes mouthguards, helmets, facial visors and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, the EIHA wants a continuous conversation with those involved in the league regarding improvements that can be done for player safety, so that a situation like this never happens again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It is unacceptable for any player to lose their life while playing sport,” the EIHA added in the statement. “Our responsibility is not only to avert the recurrence of such a heart-breaking accident, but also to pre-emptively address other foreseeable incidents in the future. We bear both a legal and a moral obligation to respond in a measured and pragmatic way.<\/p>\n

“There is a distinct likelihood that comprehensive evaluations will transpire at the international level, and the EIHA is committed to taking an active and constructive role in this comprehensive process.” <\/p>\n

The hockey community worldwide was devastated by the loss of Johnson. His girlfriend, Ryan Wolf, posted a heartbreaking tribute to him on social media Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My sweet angel,” she posted to her Instagram Story with a picture from his previous team, the Augsburger Panther. “I\u2019ll miss you forever and love you always.”<\/p>\n

A moment of silence was also held before the start of the Heritage Classic between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames on Sunday night in honor of Johnson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following Johnson\u2019s death, the EIHL postponed all games on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson, a Minnesota native, previously played 13 games during the 2018\u201319 and 2019\u201320 seasons for the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>, who honored him with their own statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Pittsburgh Penguins join the entire hockey world in mourning the life of Adam Johnson, whose life tragically ended far too soon,” the team said in a statement. “We offer our deepest condolences to Adam\u2019s family and friends, as well as all of Adam\u2019s past and present teammates and coaches. Adam will always be part of the Penguins family.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson registered one goal and three assists while with the Penguins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
