Winnipeg Falcons
In 1920, Johannesson, playing right defence for the Winnipeg Falcons, was described as a gifted "stick handler", dangerous rusher, known for his "terrific" shot, and was considered one of the "giants of the team". After winning the Allan Cup Championship (1920), the Winnipeg Falcons won the right to represent Canada at the Olympic championship games played at Antwerp, Belgium, from April 23–April 29, 1920.
