Meet Head Coach Mark Johnson

Now in his sixth season as head coach, Mark Johnson has firmly established a strong and steady foundation for the Jefferson High School Hockey Program. With a deep well of experience and a passion for player development, Johnson has been instrumental in guiding the team forward and fostering a positive, competitive culture.

Johnson’s coaching background spans over a decade and includes high-level involvement with both Minnesota Hockey and USA Hockey. Prior to his current role, he served in coaching positions at Lakeville South, St. Paul United, and Hopkins/St. Louis Park. During his tenure at Lakeville South (2015–2018), he led teams to two state tournament appearances, further solidifying his credentials as a top-tier high school coach. He is a USA Hockey Level 4 certified coach.

In addition to his high school coaching duties, Johnson continues to play an active role in Minnesota’s hockey development pipeline. He serves as General Manager for Section 6 in the Minnesota High Performance Program for 16U and 17U players and regularly coaches in the Premier Prep League, which operates under the Minnesota State High School Girls Hockey Coaches Association. He remains a consistent presence at national and regional training camps, including the U14 national camp at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.

“Jefferson has a strong tradition, and it’s an honor to be part of that,” Johnson says. “The girls here are driven, coachable, and fun to work with, and I’m excited about the direction we’re heading as a program.”
