Im sure you have all seen that Adam Johnson, former NHL/AHL guy, from Minnesota originally, took a skate to the neck in his EIHL game. Former Hawks prospect Jake Ryzcek is on that team. Based on what I read of the situation and how it transpired... I would be shocked if he makes it. Hoping for a miracle.

Now confirmed. Shocking. RIP.

Awful stuff. RIP. The video is horrific. Right after it happened it looks like a 5 gallon bucket of blood was dumped on him and the ice.

I believe Mats Sundin said that when he had visor, he was hit on the head with sticks more often than the time when he wasn't wearing visor. That's why he didn't use one in last seasons he played.
 
Can't even imagine what the family is going through. He played with Joey Anderson (as well as Neil Pionk, Dominic Toninato and Alex Iafallo) in college as well. My heart goes out to all effected by this horrific tragedy. RIP young man.
