NHL, NHLPA exploring protective gear options after former Penguin Adam Johnson's tragic death
The NHL and NHLPA are working toward preventing horrific accidents in the future
By Austin Nivison • 1 min readFollowing the death of former Pittsburgh Penguin Adam Johnson, the NHL and NHL Players Assocation are looking into their options for more protective equipment, especially for areas like the neck and wrists. Johnson died last week after a skate cut his neck during a game in England, and the NHL is hoping to avoid another tragedy like that in the future.
League commissioner Gary Bettman spoke to reporters at Metlife Stadium for a Stadium Series press conference on Wednesday, and he was asked about the possibility of extra protective equipment. Bettman said it may take some time, but he hopes the NHL and NHLPA can reach a solution in the near future.
"Whether it's something that's mandated directly or on a phased-in basis, that's something we'll discuss with the players association," Bettman said, according to ESPN.
Marty Walsh, the NHLPA executive director, said that the players association will "explore everything" as it pertains to cut-resistant equipment.
