![BREAKING: Family of hockey player killed by skate blade of opponent demand 'Justice for Adam'](https://mr.cdn.ignitecdn.com/client_assets/thepostmillennial_com/media/picture/6544/21bf/b8ca/d50e/1a9a/dbf6/original_hockey.jpeg?1698963903)
"It was very reckless. I just want them [authorities investigating] to get it right. We are looking for justice for Adam."
The family of Adam Johnson, the hockey player killed in a hockey game in Britain over the weekend after player Matt Petgrave slashed Johnson’s neck with a skate blade, is speaking out, calling the opposing player’s actions "reckless."
Kari Johnson, the aunt of Adam Johnson, said, "It was very reckless. I just want them [authorities investigating] to get it right. We are looking for justice for Adam," according to Newsweek.
Kari said she watched the "horrific tragedy" while watching the game at home with Johnson’s parents, and after seeing the video hundreds of times, she has concluded that Petgrave’s action was "totally unnecessary."
"You don't take your leg and kick somebody and cut their throat. I'm sorry," she continued. "We were watching the game in real-time and we did witness what happened. Horrific is the word to describe."
"My nephew was 6-feet tall, and whether you lost your balance or not, to have that leg come up that high and do a kicking motion like he did, that is just unacceptable," she said. "I think the actions were unnecessary. It was just unnecessary. Nobody touched him. I've watched that video hundreds of times."
"I'm sure Mr Petgrave probably didn't even think about the consequences could be of that happening, but there comes a time when you have to realise, that's not hockey."
Kari Johnson said Petgrave was likely "going through a lot too, but he took our boy. There are a few of us in the family that think it was a totally unnecessary, very, very bad action to take."
