The Nottingham Panthers, the team Adam Johnson was playing for when a skate fatally slashed his neck, returned to the ice Saturday for a memorial game in his honor.
The on-ice incident happened Oct. 28, and Johnson died shortly after at the age of 29.
Before the game, the English team announced it would be retiring Johnson’s No. 47 as players from the Panthers and Manchester Storm stood in a circle at center ice at Motorpoint Arena.
