The ice hockey team Petr Cech plays for have made an immediate rule change following the tragic death of Adam Johnson.<\/p>\n

A freak accident occurred during a match between the Sheffield Steelers and Nottingham Panthers on Saturday (October 28) which saw Johnson's neck slashed open by the skate of an opponent.<\/p>\n

The horrifying injury led to the Panthers forward losing his life having been taken to hospital. In an attempt to prevent such an incident happening again in the future, Oxford City Stars – who former Chelsea star Cech keeps goal for – have made neck guards mandatory.<\/p>\n

The club, who play in the National Ice Hockey League South Division 1, announced the move in a statement on Monday and urged others to follow suit. They announced: "The club has ordered and is now awaiting delivery of neck guards for all players and coaches. <\/p>\n

"Once received, these guards will be utilised during all on-ice activities going forward. These guards will be a non-negotiable component of their attire during all practices and games, providing an extra layer of protection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"In a poignant tribute to Adam Johnson's memory, this commitment signifies not only a significant moment for the Oxford City Stars but also a cornerstone in advocating for enhanced safety standards across the sport. <\/p>\n

"We encourage other clubs to also offer these neck guards to their players. At our level of play, we strongly believe that these guards should be worn by all players."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Players are not currently made to wear neck guards in several major leagues around the world, with Sweden and Finland two of the few countries who do enforce them. Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga are now planning to introduce them from next season.<\/p>\n

Oxford City Stars' director of hockey operations Shane Moore added: "A life has tragically been taken too soon in a freak accident, and if wearing neck guards can prevent another devastating loss, then we want to ensure we have done everything within our power to protect our players."<\/p>\n
