He also played at UMD.

"Nottingham Panthers forward Adam Johnson has died after suffering a serious cut to his neck from a skate during Saturday's Challenge Cup match.

The game against the Sheffield Steelers was stopped in the 35th minute as the 29-year-old American received emergency treatment from paramedics on the ice."

God, that just absolutely sucks. Don't even know how to feel. So tragic.

If you have a weak stomach I suggest you don’t watch the video. I wish hadn’t watched. Prayers for his family

The player who did it better be arrested and charged. Clearly not a hockey play, spun around to deliver kick to neck

I just can't imagine the guy intended to do that type of damage, but I have to admit in all my years watching hockey that is the strangest looking hit I've ever seen a guy deliver. I would have to watch the video a few more times to make a judgment and I don't have any interest in doing that.

Either way, juts a horrific and sad story for all involved. RIP Adam. I'll never forget watching you dominate at the state tournament.

You are going to be disappointed. There's almost 0% any criminal charges come of this. Nor should they.

Too tragic to even begin to comment. Horrible.

Criminal charges came of this:

Wow, clearly I was dead wrong. I have to say I am shocked, but without knowing the details of the charges and what was behind the decision I guess I can’t argue it. Just awful all around.

Just a sad story all around. Feel so bad for all of this. I don't know why, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about it.
