Ex-NHL player Johnson dies after on-ice accident
espn.com

The Nottingham Panthers, who play in England's Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL), announced Sunday that the organization is "heartbroken at the news of Adam's passing."

Officials stopped the Panthers' game Saturday against the Sheffield Steelers after Johnson was involved in a collision on the ice during the second period. Johnson received emergency treatment on the ice, and players eventually returned to the locker room after he was taken to Sheffield's Northern General Hospital.

Nearly 8,000 fans at Sheffield's Utilita Arena were asked to leave the building because of what the Panthers announced as a "major medical emergency."

American moment

What does an on ice accident have to do with America?

Especially for a game located in England!

Playing a Canadian sport!

(Potentially) invented by French soldiers!

It's definitely derived from Iroquois games. Similar to lacrosse.

Not that plenty of other peoples didn't have various games where they hit things with sticks.

America bad of course, even when it wasn't America, everything is secretly America.

I don’t see anything saying America in the post and I don’t see any rules in the instance info saying American news only so I’m confused why you’re mentioning it
