Fans gathered at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, England on Saturday to pay tribute to Adam Johnson, the American ice hockey player who died last week while playing for the Nottingham Panthers.
Outside the stadium, fans laid a colorful sea of flowers and, inside, were invited to sign books of condolence on the carpeted ice, the club said in a statement. A two-minute silence in memory of Johnson was held at 8:20pm local time while the club said that local mental health charities were also present “for those who want to have a conversation.
In an online obituary, Johnson’s family remembered him as a “thoughtful, patient and genuinely authentic” person who “took pleasure in the small, everyday things.” Nottingham Panthers have also launched the “Love for Hibbing and Hockey Memorial Fund” in Johnson’s memory which will support local charities as selected by his family in their home town of Hibbing, Minnesota, and has so far raised more than £54,000 .
