Jack Johnson Biography

Jack Johnson is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on January 13, 1987 in Indianapolis, Indianapolis, United States. John Joseph Louis Johnson III (born January 13, 1987) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played in the NHL for the Los Angeles Kings and Columbus Blue Jackets. Johnson is known as a capable two-way defenseman, combining physical prowess and offensive capabilities in his style of play.

Johnson was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round, third overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft from the Team USA under-18 national team, but did not immediately jump to the NHL, instead playing for the University of Michigan in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). In his freshman season, Johnson set school records for points (32) and penalty minutes (149) by a freshman defenseman. After his freshman season, however, with the Hurricanes needing a defenseman and Johnson having committed to another collegiate season (the Hurricanes had tried to sign him after his freshman season ended), Hurricanes’ General Manager Jim Rutherford traded Johnson’s rights on September 29, 2006, along with Oleg Tverdovsky, to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Tim Gleason and Éric Bélanger.

Early in the 2008–09 season, Johnson suffered a shoulder injury and missed 41 games after needing surgery.

During the 2009–10 season, Johnson would greatly improve his game, scoring eight goals and 28 assists, second only to Drew Doughty in defensive scoring for the Kings. His play earned him a selection to the Team USA at the 2010 Olympics, along with Kings’ captain Dustin Brown; the two eventually won the silver medal.

Following two years with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, Johnson was selected third overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. After a year at the University of Michigan, Johnson’s rights were traded to the Los Angeles Kings. Johnson would play another year at Michigan before signing his first professional contract with the Kings. In February 2012, he was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets after five seasons in Los Angeles. In 2018, he signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins in free agency. Johnson has represented the United States on the international stage multiple times, most notably playing for Team USA at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
