Former NHL star Johnson, 29, suffered a gash to his throat in the freak accident, according to witnesses.
The game between his new team the Nottingham Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers had to be abandoned.
Eye witnesses says players from both teams formed a ring around Johnson as apparently there was quite a lot of blood.
Around 8,000 fans are believed to have witnessed the horror collision between the two players at Utilita Arena Sheffield.
Yikes. Is there any update on his condition?
He died :(

Do you have a source for that? I saw some people saying this, but never a source to go with it, just speculation.
Edit: yes, this has been confirmed. The comments asking for sources were from before any confirmation could be found.
I think we should wait for some form of confirmation on that one before we start rushing to say someone has died.
Yeah, I could see neck guards becoming required equipment after this. Safety regulations are built on blood
