My deepest sympathy to the Johnson family. BJ was one of the greatest hockey players to grace the ice in Prior Lake. I have great memories growing up and playing hockey with him.
Prayers to BJ and the family!

Thanks for being great teammate. Some of your records are still in the prior lake hockey record book some 35 years later!
Rest in peace BJ.
