St. Cloud State University Huskies‘ sophomore right wing Jack Johnston(7) wasn’t able to get into more than 3 NCAA/NCHC games in 2020/2021 with an odd +2 rating, due to a very stacked squad returning for the college team, who went onto win their first three rounds Frozen Four tournament and only lose to the eventual winners in the semi-finals.
The 5’10” 170 lbs. forward left three season of junior hockey for Fairbanks Ice Dogs with career high numbers, 18 goals, 27 assists for 45 points in 52 NAHL games with a +25 rating.
A prolific scorer going back to his 2nd year of high school back in St. Paul, MN, he brought that forward to his first two years in Alaska, scoring 31 goals and 39 assists in 103 games with a combined +31 before running the totals he did in ’19/20 before playoffs were crashed by COVID.
The 21-year old will continue to need to work hard to find his room on the college roster but there’s little doubt he will.
