Tyler Johnson Family
Tyler Johnson was born on July 29, 1990, in Spokane, Washington; he is Ken and Debbie Johnson (nee. Mitchell). Debbie Johnson was a skating coach; her husband and Tyler’s dad Ken Johnson is a circulation district manager for The Spokesman-Review and a former hockey coach.
With two skating parents, it was only logical Tyler starling skating at an absurd early age, 18 months to be exact; by the time he was four, Debbie and Ken talked to local organizers into including him in the league when the minimum age was six.
“My parents are kind of influential in the hockey world back home,” he says. “It’s a smaller town. My mom taught basically all the kids in my area how to skate. I started skating when I was really young, so it was just one of those things that was bound to happen. My mom and dad gave me every opportunity possible,” Johnson says.
“That was a big sacrifice for my parents to do that every weekend, financially and emotionally. But without that, I don’t think I would be where I am today.”
