From Tier 3 Juniors to the NHL
In 2006-07 Tyler Johnson played for the Couer D' Alene Lakers of the Tier 3 Junior A Nor Pac Hockey League, consisting of teams from Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming. The Spokane native has worked his way up the ladder and six years later has been called up to the Tampa Bay Lightning of the NHL. I dont know if he is the only Nor Pac player to make it to the NHL but there are not many others if he is not the only one so far. Congrats to Tyler on making it to the NHL!!
