NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — A makeshift shrine for Adam Johnson keeps growing outside the arena where the Nottingham Panthers play hockey. Fans have left flowers, wreaths, jerseys, team scarves and handwritten notes to honor the 29-year-old American who died after an opposing player’s skate cut his neck during a game last month in Sheffield. “We’re not just hockey fans — we’re a hockey family,” Panthers fan Margaret Cartwright said Saturday.
