History
2005-06: Johnson, along with sophomore Wylie Rogers, gave the Nanooks one of the CCHA’s best goaltending tandems this season. The Calgary, AB native posted a 6-7-4 record that included a .917 save percentage in 18 appearances. Johnson’s most memorable outing came on Oct. 15 versus Minnesota, where he posted a 38-save performance to preserve a 3-3 tie for the Nanooks in his collegiate debut. Most recently, Johnson was named this year’s recipient of UAF’s Doug Desorcie Award, which is given to the team’s top rookie.
Drafted 5th round (125th overall), 2006 by Pittsburgh
2007-08: The athletic goaltender saw his season abbreviated because of a high-ankle sprain in mid-december. Johnson’s season was a reflection of his team’s season as he only won one of his 7 starts.
Talent Analysis
Johnson is a goaltender who is very efficient in his body movements and makes tremendous use of his large frame in covering the net. One of Johnson’s greatest attributes is his meticulous and professional approach to his game. He is the consummate student, always searching for ways to play his position better and more effectively. Johnson possesses a great glove, plays his angles quite well and does a very good job of staying with opposing shooters. While he has good size, Johnson needs to continue to add strength to it.
