Adrian Ingham, who was watching a webcast of the match in which Johnson was injured, said he had found it difficult to sleep for days after the incident “because you closed your eyes and saw the image of everything that was going on”. Nottingham Panthers said the team’s players and staff would spend Saturday afternoon privately reflecting on their memories of Johnson while signing the books of condolence.
The 29-year-old American was playing for the Panthers against Sheffield Steelers on October 28 when he was hit in the throat by an opponent’s skate, causing a fatal injury. Ms Rawden concluded the four minute-long hearing by saying she wanted to “take this opportunity to offer to his family, his friends and all those who knew him, my sincere condolences at this difficult time”.The Elite Ice Hockey League has said it will not make the use of neck guards mandatory, but “strongly encourages” players and officials to wear them.
