Most media refusing to mention the name of the guy who killed the other player. Guess the skin colors involved, well no need to guess for anyone who pays any type of attention to how the racist media reports news to defend the black supremacy status quo.

I don't believe you. Do you have a source for this?
Sorry, I'll post it if I can find it, but that's what I ready in one report yesterday, probably the Daily Mail.
I watched a slow motion version of the video who somebody I follow on X posted today, and it's 100% obvious now that it was intentional. I mean FFS, the guy had the most sin bin time for fouls of any player in the league, known for his temper, stuck the blade of his stick into an opponent, now does a kick to the neck of Johnson which cuts the guy's jugular. He made barely any contact with the first opponent he tried to 'hit', and this would not cause him to bizarrely perform an acrobatic unintentional kick to the second opponents throat. There are experienced hockey players saying that below the video now. He missed his hit and then lashed out at the poor guy he killed. Apparently there's been a gagging order on all the teams from speaking out about it. I'm 100% certain that this guy will be at least end up charged with manslaughter.
If this is true, then the league should be considered complicit as well. If they are letting an out-of-control player behave this way, blood is on the league's hands. If I were a family member, I'd sue the spit out of them. This is true regardless of whether the kick to the neck was intentional.
hockey is historically a simulation of battle, invented by the Indians so they could gain honor without killing too many of each other. The Irish invented a similar game with dangerous sticks. The Maya had a high-stakes version of volleyball/basketball.
European football is an exception, being more about evading an enemy than fighting. But American football, like hockey, is inherently and deliberately a form of controlled violence.
Cross country and track could vastly gain popularity by implementing this model, perhaps with paintball guns. Long distance capture the flag maybe
I saw the video of the incident on Twitter, and it looked as deliberate as can be. The guy also was banned last year for jabbing his puck at an opponent. The UK police are so clueless they are saying it was the puck that sliced his neck, when you can clearly see in the video he does a karate kick to his neck.
Having said that, I have never played Ice Hockey or even ever watched it before, and a lot of fans are saying it was an accident, no matter what it looked like.
....
Exactly that was deliberate. He may not intended it to be fatal but to me, my opinion that kick appears initial.

I grew up playing hockey, started when I was 5. I have played in thousands of practices, hundreds and hundreds of games, and watched endless games - and that was a deliberate kick. No question. I think an angry player like that didn't think through the consequences of what he was doing, just wanted to kick the person, but what he did was beyond reckless. Any normal hockey player would not do what he did and they would know there is a huge risk of harm kicking someone with your skate, including that you could kill a guy if you got him in the throat when you kick up that high (the other guy was 6 foot). A skate blade is a blade. I don't see how it's any different than if you slashed a knife at someone as hard as you could. Did you mean to kill them? I mean, it was an entirely foreseeable possibility. Don't swing a knife at someone if you don't want to kill them. That was not a "freak accident", that was a foreseeable consequence of high kicking someone while wearing a blade on your foot.

Don't swing a knife at someone if you don't want to kill them.
Funny to see someone claim credibility, then make a completely absurd statement that no actual hockey players agree with.
If you "don't see" the difference between this and "swinging a knife" you are either being deliberately obtuse or very, very daft (and ignorant of hockey).
