"I think about it every day, more or less. I get a lot of flashbacks, and they're not very pleasant."

Victor Bjorkung had just played a pass to his Nottingham Panthers team-mate Adam Johnson when he saw tragedy unfold on the ice.

On 28 October last year, during a match against the Sheffield Steelers, Johnson’s neck was cut by a blade and he died later in hospital.

What happened to American Johnson was a big enough wake-up call to Bjorkung of the dangers of ice hockey.

And yet he was to have his own potentially catastrophic injury from a blade just a few months later.

It struck his groin area, and cut through his protective gear and skin "like butter".

Winnipeg's Rick Bowness, Nashville's Andrew Brunette and Vancouver's Rick Tocchet were named finalists on Friday for the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's 2023-24 coach of the year.

The trophy honors the head coach who has "contributed the most to his team's success," voted on by members of the NHL Broadcasters' Association.

None of the three finalists is a previous winner. Brunette finished second while with the Florida Panthers in 2021-22; Bowness and Tocchet are first-time finalists.
