Chad Johnson will be behind the bench tonight as the Lincoln Stars take on the Tri-City Storm in Lincoln. Johnson had been on a personal leave of absence to deal with some medical issues since late September. This will mark Johnson’s first regular season game as head coach. Johnson is an ex-UND and Grand Forks Central hockey player. Jimmy McGroarty and ex-UND, Red River and Lincoln Star Andy Schneider have been coaching the USHL team in Johnson’s absence.
