Adam Johnson’s family is dealing with the hockey player’s tragic death.
Girlfriend of ex-NHL player pens tribute after he suffered severe cut to neck in fatal ‘freak accident’ during game, died after his throat was slashed by a skate blade, which severed his carotid artery, during a game Saturday in England’s Elite Ice Hockey League .
“We are absolutely calling for a complete investigation,” she said. “You don’t take your leg and kick somebody and cut their throat. I’m sorry.”“My nephew was 6-feet tall, and whether you lost your balance or not, to have that leg come up that high and do a kicking motion like he did, that is just unacceptable,” she said.
“That’s not a hockey play, that’s not a check. I understand that every team has an enforcer, per se, on their team. “And I’m sure he’s going through a lot too, but he took our boy. There are a few of us in the family that think it was a totally unnecessary, very, very bad action to take.”The Pittsburgh Penguins and Anaheim Ducks gather at center ice before a game in Pittsburgh, Oct. 30, 2023, to honor former Penguin player Adam Johnson, who died in while playing in an English hockey league game.“If they find against what I feel, I will have to accept that.
