Following the tragic death of Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson, NHL player T.J. Oshie and others have chosen to wear neck guards in games, prompting Ontario University Athletics and the German Ice Hockey League to make them mandatory. Despite calls from a coroner for mandatory neck guards in ice hockey, USA Hockey has only issued a 'recommendation'. Johnson's life was celebrated in a memorial service in his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, where family and friends remembered his sharp banter, genuine personality, and infectious smile. His devastated fiancee vowed to 'never stop' thinking about him. Nottingham Forest also paid a poignant 47th-minute tribute to Johnson during a game.

OUA (Ontario University Athletics) has made neck guards mandatory in men’s hockey. The initial plan was to introduce neck guards at some point, however, the tragic loss of Adam Johnson encouraged the league to expedite and enforce now.
Jake Walman wore neck guard at practice today and plans to wear one in the future in games he says. Trying different brands out to see what fits best
Also in Sammi hockey news: my neck guard is here and ready for use. Not only cut resistant, but also fire resistant. So there’s that. As a player though I can say you really don’t notice things like that during a game. Kinda like Oshie said, thought goes away after first shift.
#ICYMI: T.J. Oshie wore a neck guard in Thursday’s game for the Capitals. The Warroad founder shares what went into that decision and has a message to youth players and NHLers on the fence. “I made the choice for my kids. I wanna stick around for ‘em.” https://t.co/lIcpPejQCT

Oshie said he didn't notice the neck guard after his first shift. "For youth, I'd hope it shows them that it's really not a distraction from my game. I thought I played pretty decent tonight, honestly it was actually really comfortable."
"I made my choice for my kids. I want to stick around for 'em." T.J. Oshie explains his decision to wear a neck guard and shares his experience wearing one in a game, and he also has a message to youth players and his fellow NHLers. @WarroadHockeyCo https://t.co/lIcpPejQCT
Oshie on being one of the first NHLers to wear a neck guard: “We’re grown men…you can make your own choices. I made my choice for my kids. I want to stick around for ‘em. I’m just trying to decrease the chance of injury.” #Caps
