Linnea Johansson is a Swedish ice hockey forward, currently playing with Linköping HC in the SDHL and the Swedish junior national team.
Career.
Johansson grew up playing with boys at the Tre Kronors Hockeyskola in her native town of Ljungby, including Malmö Redhawks defender Helge Grans. At the age of 14, she joined Karlskrona HK, before joining IF Troja-Ljungby and HV71 the next year, splitting her time between the two sides. She made her SDHL debut in 2016-17 after being called up by HV71, getting two assists in seven games as well as playing in four playoff games. After putting up 7 points in 25 with HV71 in 2017-18, and growing increasingly dissatisfied with the way girls were being treated in the mixed Troja-Ljungby team, she left the city to sign with Linköping HC.
She scored 7 points in 19 games in her first year with Linköping before being sidelined due to a bad concussion suffered with the national U18 team. She would miss the first nine games of the 2019-20 SDHL season as well before returning to the ice.
International.
Johansson has represented Sweden at the 2018 and 2020 IIHF World Women's U18 Championships.
