It's shocking. Only 48. R.I.P.

Oh no, I grew up with, played hockey and soccer with Greg.

Class act he was.

Played left wing on his line for two seasons, scored a lot of goals that were really all because of his outstanding skating ability and instincts. If he was not the c I would have likely scored 10% of the goals I did.

Have to wonder if this had anything to do with the heart condition that was found by drs in his preseason medical that resulted in his retirement.

His family has also done so much for the community of Thunder Bay. Here is hoping the city and the nhl alumni and current players so something to honour hi. Like name an arena after him.

Such a sad day, heaven just got a beautiful soul

Thank you Greg Johnson for everything that you did as Captain of the Nashville Predators during the seasons that you spent in Nashville.

 

[Passchendaele]

Was diagnosed with some sort of heart condition (which ended his NHL career by proxy) in 2006.

Maybe there is a link?

 

[Frolov 6'3]

I remember him playing EA NHL 99 on my N64 console.

He was constantly Nashville’s best player because everyone else sucked.


Way too young.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Ryan Johnson's older brother.

I remember a bit from Nashville.

Rip Greg.

As a hometown boy, I had the opportunity to meet Greg a few years ago. Rest in peace Greg. You did Thunder Bay proud..

I remember back in 1997, the Canucks were thinking about trading Esa Tikanen for Greg Johnson. That is my only memory of Greg Johnson. RIP however.
