A three-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time All-American, Johnston graduated as the most accomplished skater in the history of the women's hockey program. Johnston, who earned a team-high 30 goals and 61 points during her senior season, was named the squad's most valuable player after a season that saw her become a first-team All-American and earn a Top 10 Patty Kazmaier nomination for the third time. She graduated as the fifth-leading scorer in team history with 188 points (97 goals, 91 assists). She was a four-time first-team all-ECAC Hockey and first-team All-Ivy pick. Johnston was both the ECAC Hockey and Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2008 and earned a spot on ECAC Hockey's all-tournament team as a senior. Despite taking a year off for the Olympics, Johnston helped the Big Red to a pair of ECAC Hockey and Ivy League regular season titles, an ECAC Hockey tournament crown and two NCAA Frozen Four appearances. She was team captain as a senior and an assistant captain as a junior. In her international career, Johnston has posted 30 goals and 42 assists for 72 points in 76 games, helping Team Canada to Olympic Gold in 2010, 2014 and 2022, Olympic silver in 2018 as a four-time Olympian. A 14-year member of the national team, she also was part of teams that won a gold, eight silvers and a bronze at the IIHF World Women's Championships. Professionally, she was selected second overall in the 2012 CWHL Draft by the Calgary Inferno.
