A Tragic Incident During An Ice Hockey Match Has Led To New Safety Regulations Being Introduced By A UK Team. The Death Of Nottingham Panthers Player Adam Johnson, Who Suffered A Fatal Injury To His Throat During A Collision In A Match Against The Sheffield Steelers, Has Prompted The Oxford City Stars To Take Action. In Response To This Heartbreaking Event, The Club Has Announced The Mandatory Use Of Neck Guards For All Players And Coaching Staff. This Decision Comes After The Coroner Investigating Johnson’S Death Called For The Use Of Neck Guards In All Ice Hockey Games To Prevent Similar Tragedies In The Future. While The English Ice Hockey Association Has Announced That Neck Guards Will Become Mandatory By 2024, The Elite Ice Hockey League, Which Includes The Nottingham Panthers And Sheffield Steelers, Has Stated That It Will Strongly Encourage Players And Officials To Wear Them, But Will Not Make Them Mandatory.
