Adam Johnson's UK team gets back on the ice in a memorial game weeks after the player's tragic death
Fans have left flowers, wreaths, jerseys, team scarves and handwritten notes to honor the 29-year-old American who died after an opposing player’s skate cut his neck during a game last month in Sheffield. “We’re not just hockey fans — we’re a hockey family,” Panthers fan Margaret Cartwright said Saturday. The death of the former Pittsburgh Penguins player has not only forced the sport to reexamine safety regulations but also sparked a criminal investigation locally that led to an arrest of a man on suspicion of manslaughter.
