The police have arrested a man in connection with the death of\u00a0Nottingham Panthers ice hockey player Adam Johnson. The man\u00a0has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the incident which saw Johnson’s neck cut in a game against\u00a0Sheffield Steelers.<\/p>\n

The incident proved fatal for Johnson which\u00a0occurred during an\u00a0Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) game back in October. The tie between the Panthers and the\u00a0Sheffield Steelers was stopped after the\u00a029-year-old was involved in a collision.<\/p>\n

After falling to the ground players from both teams formed a circle around the player. The game was swiftly called to a stop with the 8,000 fans inside the\u00a0Sheffield Arena asked to leave.<\/p>\n

Johnson’s death was confirmed the following morning which saw the day’s EIHL fixtures postponed. Tributes to the player have since been made, with fans, players and friends expressing their condolences.<\/p>\n
