Adam Johnson,Elite League Challenge Cup,Sheffield Steelers

GIVEN the gravity of what happened at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield two weeks ago, everything that is written or spoken in its aftermath has an element of understatement about it.

For those present at the Elite League Challenge Cup encounter between Sheffield Steelers and Nottingham Panthers that witnessed the hugely tragic death of Adam Johnson , it is almost impossible to imagine the emotional and mental impact on them. Families with young children, players, coaches, medical staff, match officials, those watching at home on the webcast – the list goes on regarding those affected.

Elsewhere, the EIHA – responsible for the sport in England and Wales from the NIHL National down to all junior, university and rec hockey – last week became one of the first governing bodies to declare it would make the wearing of neck guards mandatory for players of all ages from January 1. Under the current rules of world governing body the International Ice Hockey Federation , all players playing at Under-20 or below are required to wear a neckguard.
