By Samantha NobleBBC News
A coroner has called for neck guards in Ice Hockey to be compulsory following The death of a player whose neck was cut during a match.
Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson suffered The Injury from a skate worn by Sheffield Steelers player Matt Petgrave on 28 October.

The Coroner added: " In due course The inquest will consider whether The use of a neck guard or protector could have prevented Mr Johnson's death.
" At this stage in my investigation however, I Am sufficiently concerned that deaths may occur in The Future if neck guards or protectors are not worn.
" In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you have The Power to take such action. "
The Report has been sent to sent to Ice Hockey UK and English Ice Hockey Association Limited, which have 56 days to respond.
The inquest was.
On Monday, a celebration of life event took place in Johnson's home in Hibbing, Minnesota.
