The story of how Tyler Johnson worked his way to the NHL is one that can be looked at as a success story for someone who has overcome the odds. Judged by only his stature, Johnson began his road to becoming a pro with the city that helped raise him.
With 4 long years of hard work, constant effort, and sheer determination, Johnson finally earned the chance to prove to an NHL team that he was worth the risk, and that the other 29 teams in the league would be sorry for not taking a chance on him.
