History
2007-08: The son of former Badgers great and “Miracle on Ice” player Mark Johnson completed an outstanding freshman season at the University of Wisconsin, where he finished second on the team in rookie scoring with 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists). The younger Johnson had his best outing of the season back on Jan. 26 when he had a hand in both Wisconsin goals to give the Badgers a 2-2 tie against Minnesota. The performance also earned him his lone WCHA Rookie of the Week honor as well.
Talent Analysis
Johnson is a small, scrappy forward with lots of energy that is fun to watch. His quickness and fiercely competitive nature, especially where puck possession is concerned make Johnson a difficult player to defend against. He possesses quick feet and a good burst of speed. He is very good along the boards and is willing to take the punishment in front of the net to make plays. Johnson very poised with the puck, and possesses great vision and hockey sense as well. He can also play in any type of situation.
One attribute that stands out about Johnson is how he is able to effectively compensate for his lack of size in the defensive zone. He does a remarkably good job with his body positioning, and along with his outstanding stick work, he is able to successfully defend against and strip pucks from opposing players.
Future
Johnson will enter his sophomore year at University of Wisconsin this fall.
