Matt Petgrave forced to take his social media accounts private after being accused of intentionally kicking Adam Johnson
On Saturday night tragedy struck during an EIHL game. Fans in attendance were evacuated from the arena after Nottingham Panther's Adam Johnson player was struck by a skate in the neck. Johnson unfortunately passed away due to the injuries he sustained.
Lost in this tragedy is how this has impacted Matt Petgrave. Unfortunately it was Petgrave's skate that struck Johnson causing the injuries, that ultimately took his life. While this incident was considered an accident by almost everyone in the last 24-hours there has been a surge in accusation that Petgrave committed this act intentionally.
The attacks and threats towards Petgrave have reached such a point that he was forced to turn his social media accounts private.
Matt Petgrave had to lock all of his socials due to death threats, & people just being absolute scum bag humans
I've met Matt, plenty of times. If you think because he has a lot of penalty minutes that he's a horrible human you're wrong
Quit being ass hole humans for f*ck sake
Despite everything that messages against Matt Petgrave continue to roll in.
For anyone who has played the game of hockey it's clear that this was an unfortunate incident. A play no one on the ice could have ever predicted. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Johnson Family and everyone impacted by this horrible incident.
