UW’s Johnson reportedly to coach USA in 2010 Olympics

It might be the worst kept secret in Hockey history. But all signs, and a report by the Wisconsin State Journal, indicate Madison native and “Miracle in Ice” 1980 gold medal winning star, Mark Johnson, will be named coach of the 2010 US Women’s Hockey Team at a press conference scheduled for Tuesday.

USA Hockey has scheduled the press conference Tuesday morning and then a reception on the campus of the University of Wisconsin that evening which would seem to indicate Johnson, who was known to be one of three finalists for the position, is the choice.
