Ryan Johnston is the younger brother of two-time Olympic gold medalist, Clarkson Cup champion, and Canadian National Team member Rebecca Johnston.
They are actually two of six siblings, and even Ryan admits that his older sister will be on a different level.
“Rebecca’s the most accomplished player of the six siblings, and she always will be,” Ryan told Sportsnet before suiting up for his first NHL game last season.
He was an undrafted free agent out of Colgate University last July, and he quickly impressed the Montreal Canadiens at the team’s development camp as an invite.
