Panthers to retire Adam Johnson's 47 in December

A jersey retirement ceremony will take place on 14 December

Nottingham Panthers are humbled to announce that Adam Johnson’s official jersey retirement ceremony will take place on Saturday 14th December.

The Panthers will be honoured to be in the presence of members of Adam’s family for the game against Fife Flyers in the Elite League (7pm faceoff).

A special ceremony will take place pre-game where the Panthers will remember Adam and his jersey will become the seventh to be officially retired by the club.

Panthers CEO, Omar Pacha, said: “We were honoured to have Adam in Nottingham and not only was he a great talent on the ice, he was a fantastic person off the ice also.

“Adam made an impact on everyone who met him in the short time he was with us and he will forever be in our thoughts.

“We all want Adam’s memory to live on for who he was as a person and what he contributed to the sport of ice hockey.

“This will be a very special night for all of us as we come together to retire Adam’s number 47 jersey.”

Full details about the pre-game shirt retirement ceremony will be announced in due course.
