  Johannson, native of Edmonton, Alberta came to UND to play football (halfback), but earned his fame as a great hockey center, and during his UND playing days (1950-53) he had few peers north or south of the border in amateur hockey. He was a great playmaker and ranks third on the list of all-time hockey scorers with 139 points. "We remember all of the wins, none of the losses, and mostly the full houses with people hanging from the rafters. People in town and on campus got all together and we had fun and got things done- just like in real life," Johannson says. Fans remember one of his feats. During a league game, while UND was penalty-shorthanded he controlled the puck for nearly all of a two-minuet penalty, an amazing feat then and now.
