NHL organization Adopts New Equipment Policy Following Tragic Incident
The tragic death of Adam Johnson in England's EIHL on Saturday night has sparked concerns about player safety in the NHL.
In recent times, incidents like
Evander Kane's wrist being lacerated by a skate have highlighted the need for enhanced safety measures in the league.
Johnson's loss serves as a harsh reminder that protecting players' necks from potential cuts is paramount.
Taking a proactive approach, one NHL organization has already taken steps to address this issue. Many players from the Boston Bruins' AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins, have started wearing neck protection on the ice.
In breaking news, it seems that the NHLPA is actively working to ensure standard neck protection equipment for players in the upcoming contract negotiations, or if not, to include it as a crucial safety measure.
The league recognizes the importance of player safety, and this tragedy emphasizes the urgency of addressing this concern.
