Steve Johnson (born March 3, 1966) is an American ice hockey coach and former wing who was an All-American for North Dakota.
The return of Tony Hrkac and the arrival of Ed Belfour changed the team's fortunes and Johnson was a beneficiary.
He finished in a three-way tie for the national scoring lead and was in on nearly half of North Dakota's goals for the season (48.9%).
Johnson didn't remain out of a job for long as he was brought in on another expansion team, the Lincoln Stars, the very next year.
He resigned after the 2007 season but returned with a third USHL team two years later, taking the Fargo Force to a runner-up finish in 2010.
