Basically, on October 28, Matt Petgrave and Adam Johnson collide in an English Elite hockey match. Petgrave's skate is up high. It slashes Adam Johnson's throat. I think Johnson died before reaching the hospital even though treatment began as soon as he got off the ice.
To me, it looks like Petgrave's skate was deliberately raised high - to check Johnson. I don't watch much hockey at all, but it looked like Petgrave had his foot planted on the ice, too, so he did not lose control until he hit Johnson.
Petgrave was just arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.

This was horrific! I saw the video and yes it did look like he deliberately kicked him.

This was horrific! I saw the video and yes it did look like he deliberately kicked him. I was on Reddit today, and someone posted about his arrest on \News. It was infuriating to read all the people saying that this was just a freak accident, and implying that people who thought otherwise didn't know hockey. The posture of both skaters made it look very deliberate and reckless. I think it is literally the first death by a skate slash to the neck in pro hockey history. The other close call involved a stick to the neck. |

I'm a very casual hockey watcher and it looked 100% deliberate to me. I'm glad he was finally arrested.

how did he raise his skate high enough to cut his neck? or did the dead guy fall on the raised skate?
i hadn't heard of this until earlier today when i got a BBC alert about the guy being charged for manslaughter.

He basically did a roundhouse kick to the guy's neck.

I go back and forth with hockey and in 2008 I was watching the Florida Panthers. I believe it was the captain no less but his skate went up cut his teammate’s neck too. I saw it live and was shocked as hell. The blood came squirting out of his neck and his name was zednick ironically. That’s the only reason why I was able to look it up to find out the year it happened. That was a total accident though, unlike this one. I remember after the game a reporter asking the one who did it. “How do you feel about slicing your teammate’s neck?” He yelled “how the fuck do you think I feel?!?!”
I’m actually watching The Panthers and Boston now.
