Johnson, 29, died after an opposing player's skate slashed his neck during a game in Sheffield on October 28. A man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. The Panthers took to the ice at the Motorpoint Arena on Saturday to stage a memorial game and 'celebrate the life of Adam and the remarkable person he was'. A tribute to Johnson was held before the game and the 10,000 spectators inside the venue rose to applaud in the 47th minute, a nod to Johnson's number. The crowd chanted Johnson's name and clapped as both teams formed a circle around the halfway line. The players then banged their sticks against the ice.
