There was a bloody scene in the ice hockey arena, and the British athlete had his throat cut! Only 29 years old!

First of all, to understand why such a tragedy happened, we need to understand the sport of ice hockey.

What is Ice Hockey? What kind of sport is ice hockey?

Ice hockey is a team sport that uses ice skates and ice hockey sticks as tools to compete against each other on the ice, consisting of two sub-sports, men's and women's, and is an independent winter sport in the international sports taxonomy. Ice hockey came into being later than sports such as football, hockey, and speed skating. According to research, modern ice hockey originated in Canada. W· F. Robertson, who was a great skater, moved hockey that he had learned during his studies in England to the ice, and combined it with the characteristics of the "La Crosse ball" to create a new ice sport - ice hockey in 1783.

Ice hockey is a high-risk sport because players need to skate, dash and scramble quickly, while using equipment such as hockey sticks and skates to attack and defend, which can lead to injuries. Here are some of the dangers of ice hockey:

1. Physical contact: Ice hockey is a highly physical contact sport, and there are often fierce collisions and scrambles between players. These collisions and scrambles can lead to injuries such as muscle strains, sprains, torn ligaments, etc.
2. Ice blades and clubs: Ice hockey players use ice skates and clubs that are made of metal and can break or eject if used incorrectly or impacted by external forces, resulting in injury to the player.
3. Speed and skating: Ice hockey players need to skate quickly, and if they can't control their speed or encounter uneven ice, they can fall or collide and get injured.
4. Playing Environment: The environment of an ice hockey game can also lead to injury. For example, uneven playing fields or the presence of debris such as ice and snow particles can scratch an athlete's skin or cause other injuries.

Secondly, according to a number of foreign media reports recently, British ice hockey player Adam Johnson (Adam Johnson) fell during the game, was cut by the opponent's ice blade, and was sent to the hospital for rescue and unfortunately passed away at the age of 29. We deplore it!

Adam Johnson, who plays for the Nottingham Panthers, fell to the ground in a scramble and was cut by his opponent's skate blade in a Challenger Cup match on October 28 local time, and the Guardian said that the audience saw him briefly get up and try to continue the game, but then fell again (see video for details).

A spokesperson for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service said they were called to Sheffield Stadium at 8.21pm after the "ice incident", with two ambulances and an intensive care paramedic arriving at the scene, with one injured person being treated at the scene and taken to hospital. On the 29th local time, the hospital announced that he had died, and then the Nottingham Panthers released an obituary announcing the death of Adam Johnson.
