Biography

George Johansson played for Göta IK from 1919-34 except for the 1930/31 season when he skated with Djurgårdens IF, and a few games in 1921 when he played in Germany with Berliner SC. A left wing, he played at the 1920 Antwerpen Olympics, and at the European Championships in 1921-22 and 1924, winning European gold in 1921 and silvers in 1922 and 1924. He was supposed to play at the 1923 Europeans but could not get time off work so never played, although he apparently received a gold medal despite that.
