Local shop owners and parents are encouraging neck protection as a requirement for hockey players.
HERSHEY, Pa. — The hockey world continues to react to the shocking death of former NHL playerJohnson died after being cut in the throat by a skateblade during a professional game in England. While local parents at the youth level are looking for protection, one Hershey Bear who played with Johnson remembers his teammate days after the incident.
Strome is still processing the passing of his former teammate. The two played together for Lehigh Valley during the 2021-22 season. His locker that season was right next to Johnson's and he has nothing but good memories of his former teammate and friend. At the youth levels in Canada, the governing body does require neckguards. USA Hockey, on the other hand, does not. Some people feel that needs to change.
