Police in England have arrested a man in connection to the death of hockey player Adam Johnson.
The man in police custody was charged with suspicion of manslaughter.
Johnson, who played for the Nottingham Panthers, died after his neck was cut by the skate blade of the Sheffield Steelers’ Matt Petgrave during an on-ice collision.
It is not yet known who has been arrested. *** Adam’s death has sent shockwaves through many communities, from our local residents here in Sheffield to ice hockey fans across the world. We know these communities will expect us to handle this investigation with the same professionalism, fairness and sensitivity as any other and request that members of the public refrain from comment and speculation which could hinder this process. Our thoughts remain with all affected by this devastating incident as enquiries continue.”
Johnson, 29, was a Minnesota native who played briefly with the Penguins in the NHL.
The arrest came after South Yorkshire Police said they were investigating the circumstances of Johnson’s death — which was described as a “freak accident” by the Panthers — on Oct. 31.

This guy is no Probert, Schultz, Twist, Domi, etc.
Just a dirty, violent scumbag.
White showing below the pupils, often problematic.
He’s not even an Ogie Oglethorpe.
I have watched this over and over again. There is nothing accidental about it. I don’t think there was any intention to kill someone but, it wasn’t an accident.
Watch again. As the other player skated off by himself. Looks like he KNEW what had happened and was “Oh shit.”
No way he didn’t raise his skate deliberately. There needs to be some severe consequences so this never happens again.
The fact that this wasn’t the first time this player brought his skate that high makes it even worse.
Obviously it was the fault of the other player nearby that was try to block the slicer-man. You know, whitey. His fault.
That was a good flick. Big fan of the Hanson brothers.
He’ll get a light sentence...if any.
He should be done in hockey forever. Hopefully the widow can take this guy’s money. Assuming he has any.
I don’t think he meant to kill him, but leg whip him…absolutely.
“It is not yet known who has been arrested. “
Petgrave was arrested.
Bob Smith.
Or Mike Jones.
Watching Schultz play at MSG taught me what it is like to feel deep seeded hatred.
Lol, I’m from the Philly area. Born during the Broad Street Bully era. :)
LGR!
what’s this asshole doing playing hockey? if someone laid on the NHL rosters and said to pick which player was going to murder another, this sheitbag would’ve been on most everyone’s shortlist
I’m quite boring now, and have banished all tv and sports except some tennis and F1 racing.
I haven’t watched hockey since we had Lindros and LeClair.
I don’t even watch my Gators anymore. Though that might be a blessing now.
My only Rangers story is from when I went to a Rangers v Devils game in the late 80’s.
I watched a man walk over to another guy and pour beer on his head.
He laughed, said f you, and walked away.
I was so confused at the time…
Trust me, it is.
I picked a fine time to give up xanax and whiskey…
Here is Schultz beating Brad Park while Park is down on the ice. Old time hockey
