U.S. women’s hockey: Mark Johnson, a coach who turns the rink into a classroom

Thereâ??s a part of Mark Johnson that, frankly, doesnâ??t get what all the fuss is about.

He doesnâ??t see himself as a womenâ??s hockey coach, even though thatâ??s his claim to fame these days. He sees himself simply as a teacher, as a resource for those who wish to learn the game heâ??s loved forever. Yes, gender is part of his reality, but itâ??s not some sort of boundary.
