Death
On October 28, 2023, Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers and was fatally injured in a game against the Sheffield Steelers at Utilita Arena when his neck was cut by the skate of Steelers player Matt Petgrave[19] during an on-ice collision.[20][21] After the impact, Johnson attempted to skate to the team bench while bleeding out, before collapsing on the ice; players on both sides locked arms to form a protective ring around Johnson while medical professionals tended to him before screens were put up and the arena evacuated.[22][23] Johnson was eventually transferred and formally pronounced dead at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital, at age 29.[23] News of Johnson's death was publicly withheld until the following morning while Johnson's relatives were alerted.[24]

In response to Johnson's death, the EIHL suspended all games scheduled for October 29, and numerous leagues and teams worldwide, alongside various politicians from Nottingham, issued statements mourning Johnson's death and held various pre-game ceremonies in his honor.[23][25] A fan fundraising campaign was launched raising money to support Johnson's family, surpassing its initial goal of £5,000 within a few hours, later being raised to £10,000 before being surpassed that same day.[26][27] Following Johnson's death, hundreds of fans assembled outside Nottingham Arena, home rink of the Panthers, alongside Panthers players and personnel to lay flowers and other tributes in a makeshift memorial for the player.[24]

After Johnson's death, the English Ice Hockey Association, which governs the sport in the country at all levels under the EIHL, introduced a neck guard mandate.
