The UK Police have progressed in their probe into the Adam Johnson incident, as they vacate the accident site but underline that the investigation, due to its complex and unprecedented nature, is ongoing.
They've urged the public to abstain from speculations, especially on social media, where some individuals targeted Matt Petgrave, another player in the mishap, with conspiracies and racial hatred. This incident has spurred a debate in the NHL regarding the necessity of neckguards. The discussions among executives are now centered on whether additional protective gear for neck and wrists should be mandated.
The urgency is palpable as some coaches and players are advocating for this change, with player Rasmus Dahlin donning a neckguard in a recent game. In a notable move, the WHL has mandated neck guard protection for all its players starting November 3, aiming to prevent such incidents in the future.
