Adam Johnson - boom - 10-29-2023
EIHL, not NHL, but former Penguin Adam Johnson tragically passed away after an on-ice accident yesterday. Don’t go looking for the video, it’s very NSFL.
Life is short. Hug your family, your friends, your pets today.
Here is Johnson scoring his only NHL goal.
Rest in peace.

Devastating news, hockey is a risky sport but it should never end in a player losing their life.
RIP Adam

Some helmet reshaping too, to cover those sensitive spots where puck strikes have killed people in the last couple of years.

So truly sad. I genuinely hope some positive change can come out of such a senseless loss. I played goalie for years and years and remember the Malarchuk incident so I could never understand why goalies (or players) would ever not wear a neck guard. I hope it becomes mandatory at all levels.
RIP
