Johnson died after the tragic accident at the weekend and a fundraiser has been set up to help his family The Nottingham Panthers have set up a fundraiser for the family of Adam Johnson – their player who was killed in a freak accident this weekend. Johnson, 29, died after his throat was slashed in an accident in an ice hockey match against the Sheffield Steelers. His mother and team confirmed news of her son’s death on social media, touching off a wave of tributes across ice hockey.
