U.S. men’s hockey GM Johannson dead at 53

Jim Johannson, the general manager of the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team, has died just a couple weeks before the start of the Pyeongchang Games. He was 53. Johannson died in his sleep Sunday morning, according to U.S.A. Hockey. Executive director Pat Kelleher says the organization is “beyond shocked and profoundly saddened” by the loss of the Minnesota native. Johannson began working for U.S.A. Hockey in 2000 after spending five years as the general manager of the Twin Cities Vulcans in the United States Hockey League.
