\"Adam<\/p>\n

The English Ice Hockey Association is changing its rules following the tragic death of Adam Johnson<\/strong> … now making it mandatory for players to wear neck guards starting in January.<\/p>\n

The org. announced the decision Monday, saying in a statement, “the safety of our players must take precedence above all else.”<\/p>\n

“We are firmly committed to our obligation to exhaust every possible means to ensure that a tragic incident of this nature never befalls our sport again,” the EIHA said.<\/p>\n

The new mandate comes roughly 48 hours after Johnson died<\/strong> following injuries he suffered when he was slashed in the throat by a skate during an on-ice collision.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

EIHA officials initially said the incident was “a freak accident” … though South Yorkshire Police said Sunday they are investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

Johnson was just 29 years old.<\/p>\n

While neck guards will still be optional for the remainder of ’23 … the EIHA said it’s making a “strong recommendation” that players wear them while skating on the ice.<\/p>\n

It added that the mandatory rule change would have been implemented immediately if not for anticipated supply issues.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“It is unacceptable for any player to lose their life while playing sport,” the EIHA said. “Our responsibility is not only to avert the recurrence of such a heart-breaking accident, but also to pre-emptively address other foreseeable incidents in the future.”<\/p>\n

EIHA officials said more rule changes could be coming down in the near future … saying in its statement, “We bear both a legal and a moral obligation to respond in a measured and pragmatic way.”<\/p>\n

“There is a distinct likelihood that comprehensive evaluations will transpire at the international level, and the EIHA is committed to taking an active and constructive role in this comprehensive process.”<\/p>\n
