Mike Johnson (ice hockey)

As a youth, Johnson played in the 1988 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Wexford, Toronto. Undrafted, Johnson was signed right out of college by the Toronto Maple Leafs upon the completion of his senior year at Bowling Green State University. Johnson made his professional debut for the Leafs within days finishing the 1996–97 season. The following year in the 1997–98 season, Johnson was named in the NHL All-Rookie team after compiling a rookie lead tying 47 points. The following season, on October 4, 2007, he signed a one-year contract with the St. Louis Blues but only played in 21 games before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Unable to sign with another NHL team, Johnson signed with Kölner Haie of the German DEL for the 2008–09 season, joining former teammate Todd Warriner. ==Broadcasting career==
