Multiple Edmonton Oilers Make Crucial Equipment Change Following Tragedy
There have been some Edmonton Oilers players who have taken safety seriously.
As a result of Adam Johnson's death, a number of professional hockey players have taken some time to pause and think about what might happen if they were to suffer a serious injury.
An ice skate cut Johnson's carotid arteries after slashing his neck.
After suffering a slashed wrist last season and missing significant time, Kane has changed his equipment to protect himself and to be there for his family.
The picture illustrates how a group of people willing to act can change culture for the better.
