Tributes have been paid to Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson who passed away aged 29.
The Elite Ice Hockey League have put out a statement saying that neck guards are 'strongly encouraged' but are not mandatory, following the death of Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson. The EIHL is the highest level of ice hockey in the UK and is separate from the English Ice Hockey Association, which announced a change in regulations on Tuesday that will make it mandatory for players to wear a neck guard during 'all on-ice activities' from the start of 2024.
A spokesperson for Elite Ice Hockey League said on Thursday night: 'We are devastated by the loss of Adam's life, and our thoughts remain with his family, team-mates and everyone else affected during this difficult time. 'Player safety and welfare is our top priority and we work with players, officials, clubs, and the relevant authorities to review research and advice to understand how we continually enhance the safety of our sport.
