As a junior, Johns played the 2009–10 season with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program. He was a member of the gold medal winning team at the 2010 IIHF World U18 Championships.[1]
Johns then played four seasons (2010-2014) of NCAA Division I hockey with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's ice hockey team, helping Notre Dame to win the 2013 CCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.[2] As a sophomore Johns was selected to compte with Team USA at the 2012 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, and in his senior year his outstanding play was recognized when he was named to the Hockey East Second All-Star Team and also to the 2014 Hockey East All Tournament Team.[3]
On April 2, 2014, the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL) signed Johns to a two-year, entry-level contract[4] to begin with the 2014–15 NHL season,[5] but he was immediately assigned to begin his professional career with the Blackhawk's AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs on a professional try-out contract.[6]
