Gary Bettman Announces Major Change To Equipment

In the wake of the tragic incident involving the late Adam Johnson, where a skate struck him in the neck, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly recently revealed that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has been actively collaborating with Marty Walsh of the NHL Players' Association to address the critical issue of neck protection.

In a conversation with NHL Network Radio, Daly underscored the NHL's intensified focus on advocating for the use of neck guards. The heartbreaking event concerning Johnson has triggered an urgent reevaluation of player safety within the league, prompting the NHL to take proactive measures to minimize the risks associated with such accidents.

While it cannot alleviate the sorrow stemming from Johnson's loss, this renewed dedication to player safety serves as a stark reminder of the significance of averting similar tragedies in the future.
