Friends, family and players cheered from the sidelines, eager to see the finale of the friendly competition. Hailing from North Preston, Johnson has dedicated more than a decade of his life to the sport. Playing locally for the Halifax Hurricanes and in the U.S. through the NCAA, he stepped away from the professional scene to help connect communities.
