Matt Petgrave, a Sheffield Steelers defenseman, is raising funds to cover legal costs following a collision during a game that resulted in the death of Adam Johnson, a Nottingham Panthers forward. Petgrave's skate cut Johnson's neck, leading to an ongoing police investigation and a manslaughter suspect who remains under investigation. Petgrave aims to raise money for legal support and potentially donate any remaining funds to hockey safety initiatives.
Hockey player Matt Petgrave has called the death of Adam Johnson “a tragic accident” in a public appeal for donations to his legal costs amid a police investigation.
A man, whose name has not been released by police, remains under investigation after being arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. South Yorkshire Police have re-bailed the man several times, most recently in early November. No criminal charges have been filed. “I am seeking help to cover some of my legal costs whilst I am subject to police bail, as well as additional costs if the matter proceeds to criminal court. Any remaining funds will be donated to initiatives that promote safety in hockey, via a CrowdJustice campaign in-line with their unused funds policy.”
