Career

Johannesen hails from Stavanger and made his debut for his hometown team, the Stavanger Oilers, in the Norway's top-tier Get Ligaen in the course of the 2014-15 season. After his first full season with the Oilers, the 2015-16 campaign, he grabbed Get-Liga Rookie of the Year accolades.[1] Johannesen claimed the 2015 and 2016 Norwegian championship with the Oilers.

His outstanding play in the Norwegian Get-Liga as well as in the Champions Hockey League drew the interest of European powerhouses. In May 2016, he inked a two-year deal with Frölunda HC of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).[2]
