Marquette Rangers News Release

Marquette, Michigan - The Marquette Rangers have signed their 10th and final tender for the upcoming 2008 - 09 North American Hockey League season. Ryan Johnson, a 5' 9" forward from Blaine (Minn.) High School signed his tender late last week.

According to Rangers scouting personnel Johnson, who scored 24 goals and 39 assists for 63 points in 31 games as a senior, was added to bolster the teams' offense for next season. In three years at B.H.S. Johnson scored 128 points; and as a senior was named Minnesota All-State Honorable Mention, All Conference, Blaine's Most Inspirational Player, and was his teams' offensive MVP.

Andy Cousin, Marquette's Minnesota scout, says Johnson can make an immediate impact in the NAHL.

"Ryan's coming out of one of the toughest sections in Minnesota hockey," Cousin said. "He's a dynamic forward with top-end skating ability and great hockey sense. I expect big things from him at tryouts and beyond."

Johnson is the only the second player from Minnesota to be tendered by the Rangers in their three year history.

The Rangers begin on-ice preparation for next season May 15th - 18th with their pre-draft tryout camp and the Berry Events Center in Marquette.
