“Honestly, I’m at a loss for words,” former teammate and fellow Minnesotan Jake Guentzel told the outlet.
“The Panthers would like to send our thoughts to Adam’s family, his partner and all his friends at this extremely difficult time,” the organization said. “Everyone at the club including players, staff, management and ownership are heartbroken at the news of Adam’s passing. Our thoughts are also with the fans and staff of both clubs, especially those who attended or were following the game, who will be devastated following today’s news.”
Johnson, a Minnesota native, was an “outstanding ice hockey player" and an “incredible person with his whole life ahead of him,” the statement said. The statement concluded: “Rest in Peace Adam.”
