Playing career[edit]
Canada Winter Games[edit]
Johnston (and future Cornell teammate Catherine White) represented Ontario at the 2007 Canada Winter Games. In the gold medal match versus Manitoba, Johnston and White each had one goal and two assists, as Ontario won by a score of 6–3 and finished the tournament undefeated.[1] In a game versus Newfoundland at the Canada Winter Games (March 5, 2007), Johnston was on a line with Mallory Deluce and Jenn Wakefield. The three combined for 12 points in a 19–0 victory.[2]
Cornell University[edit]
Johnston was Cornell’s first player to be named first-team ECAC Hockey and receive rookie of the year honors. She was also named first-team All-Ivy and Ivy League Rookie of the Year. In the 2008–09 season, Johnston’s 37 point total (by mid-February) were the most points in a season for Cornell since the 1991–92 campaign (Kim Ratushny with 21 goals and 17 assists).[3] Johnston’s 37 point total in mid-February led the entire ECAC league in overall points. She was also second in the league and sixth in the NCAA in points per game with 1.85. She was selected for membership in the Quill and Dagger society.
Hockey Canada[edit]
Johnston won two gold medals with the National Women’s Under-22 Team at the Air Canada Cup. Rebecca made her debut at the 2008 IIHF World Women’s Championship, playing in all five games as Canada won silver.[4] Rebecca Johnston was a member of Canada’s Under-22 Team. The U-22 participated in the MLP Cup, held in Ravensburg, Germany from Jan. 2–6, 2009. Johnston was part of the silver medal winning team. In the tournament, Johnston accumulated seven points (3 goals, 4 assists). Her best game was in an 11–0 victory over Russia. Johnston scored a hat trick and added an assist. In addition to the MLP Cup, Johnston played with the Canadian Senior Team in the Four Nations Cup between Nov. 4–9, 2009. Johnston was part of the silver medal winning team. In the gold medal game of the 2010 Four Nations Cup, Rebecca Johnston's second goal of the game clinched the gold medal for Canada. Said goal came on a power play 6:21 into overtime. The goal gave Canada a 3–2 win over the United States. It was Hockey Canada's 12th championship in the tournament's 15-year history.[5] She would lead all Canadian scorers in the tournament with four goals. In a game versus Russia at the 2012 IIHF Women's World Championship, Johnston registered a five point game (one goal, four assists) in a 14–1 victory.[6] In December 2013, Johnston was named to 2014 Olympic roster for Canada.[7]
