Johannes Johannesen (born 1 March 1997) is a Norwegian professional ice hockey defenseman who is currently signed with Västerviks IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan (Allsv).

Playing career[edit]

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 GET-ligaen and 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]

In the 2018–19 season, with 6 goals and 23 points in 48 games and establishing himself as one of the premier blueliners, Johannesen would sign after the post-season to a two-year contract with Düsseldorfer EG of the DEL, on 16 April 2019.[3]

Following the conclusion of his contract in Germany, Johannesen opted to return to the Swedish Allsvenskan, agreeing to a one-year contract with Västerviks IK on 1 June 2021.[4]

International play[edit]

His international play debut was with Norway in the 2016 IIHF Championship.[5]
