Former NHL star Johnson, 29, suffered a gash to his throat in the freak accident, according to witnesses.

The game between his new team the Nottingham Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers had to be abandoned.

Eye witnesses says players from both teams formed a ring around Johnson as apparently there was quite a lot of blood.

Around 8,000 fans are believed to have witnessed the horror collision between the two players at Utilita Arena Sheffield.

Yikes. Is there any update on his condition?

Yeah, I could see neck guards becoming required equipment after this. Safety regulations are built on blood
