• Johansen’s breakout 2015-16 season saw the defenseman register 10-39—49 through 69 regular-season contests with the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League, pacing team blueliners in goals, assists and points. He added 2-6—8 in 18 postseason games to help the Rockets reach the Western Conference Championship Series.

• During the 2014-15 campaign, Johansen posted 1-7—8 in the regular season (65 GP) and 1-4—5 in the playoffs (19 GP) to help the Rockets capture the 2015 Ed Chynoweth Cup, Kelowna’s fourth WHL championship in franchise history.

• Johansen is developing his game in Kelowna, known as the “Defenseman Factory,” an organization which has graduated a strong class of blueliners to the NHL including Shea Weber (NSH), Duncan Keith (CHI), Tyson Barrie (COL), Tyler Myers (WPG) and Luke Schenn (LAK).

• His brother is Nashville Predators forward Ryan Johansen and the two spend the offseason training together and facing off in competitive games of tennis.
