We're honored to welcome a local Alaskan hockey legend, JJ Johnson, to the podcast. JJ's journey through the Alaskan hockey scene, donning the jerseys UAA Seawolves and the Alaska Aces, is impressive.

JJ Johnson was the definition of an enforcer on the ice, the player you'd send out to maintain order and, when necessary, drop the gloves to defend his teammates. But his story goes far beyond the semi-pro & pro rinks. He's one of the few Alaskans who made it all the way to the NHL, and while his NHL career may have been relatively short, his impact was immense.

One of the memorable moments in JJ's career was his 2014 fight against the legendary John Scott, a battle that has been viewed 1.3 million times on YouTube, a testament to the unforgettable nature of that knockout.

But JJ Johnson isn't just a tough guy; he's also a man with a heart of gold. In this episode, he opens up about his other passions, particularly his mission for mentoring kids from all walks of life. His commitment to positively impacting the youth is as inspiring as his on-ice exploits.

Through our conversation, JJ sheds light on the grueling realities of professional hockey, emphasizing that sometimes there are alternative paths to fulfilling your dreams. Join us as we delve into the life and career of this Alaskan hockey hero, learning about the man behind the enforcer and the lessons he has to share.

New episodes every Monday.
