  Johnson, with the help of his brother, Prince, sharpened some of his hockey skills in Canada before enrolling at UND. He was an outstanding playmaker, an all-around fine player and a very potent scorer. Johnson was a member of the team that beat Michigan, 6-5, at Ann Arbor in January 1948, making UND entry into big time collegiate hockey. Like his brother he was a member of the 1949 and 1950 U.S. National teams in world tourney. He graduated in 1953 with a degree from the Business School. After finishing his Sioux career he played semi-pro hockey in the states.
