Weltverband führt Halsschutzpflicht ein

Vor etwas mehr als einem Monat wurde Adam Johnson (†29) bei einer Partie seiner Nottingham Panthers in der britischen Eishockeyliga durch eine gegnerische Schlittschuhkufe die Kehle aufgeschlitzt. Der ehemalige NHL-Spieler verstarb kurze Zeit später im Spital an den Folgen des Unfalls.

Zahlreiche Spieler, auch aus der Schweizer National League, haben sich kurz darauf dazu entschieden, freiwillig einen Halsschutz zu tragen. Die deutsche Eishockeyliga (DEL) ging noch einen Schritt weiter und führte die Regel für alle Spieler ein. Nun zieht der internationale Eishockeyverband (IIHF) nach.

Künftig ist das Tragen eines Nackenschutzes bei allen Wettbewerben des IIHF Pflicht. Darunter fällt unter anderem die Eishockey-Weltmeisterschaft. Dies gibt die IIHF am Montag auf eine Empfehlung ihres medizinischen Ausschusses bekannt. Ab wann die neue Regel in Kraft tritt, ist noch nicht bekannt. (mab)
