Meet Mike Johnston

October 22nd, 2008 by Dwight Jaynes | Filed under Hockey.

This is Mike Johnston, the man most people seem to believe will next week be named coach and general manager of the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League. I would bet he will be the only WHL coach with a master’s degree in “coaching science” and with two books to his credit. Yes, I know — probably half the coaches in that league have read two books. I mean the guy has written two books.

A lot of people ask me where I get those great ties I wear on television. Well, they come from Estes, a uniquely Portland store that provides personal service I've never found anywhere else. It's located at 16th and Northwest Glisan and I'd advise you to check it out.

You may remember me from my 25 years at The Oregonian and Oregon Journal. Or my stint at the Portland Tribune or appearances on local talk radio. Well, times change and so have I. Right now, I'm still watching the world float by, but only when I have the time.

They call me "The Godfather" now, especially in the mornings, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the "Morning Sports Page" with Gavin Dawson and Chad Doing, on Portland's No. 1 sports station, 95.5 The Game.

And I answer to that, too, in my other job, as combination host/panelist on Comcast Sportsnet's "Talkin Ball" show. You'll find us talkin' ball after every Trail Blazer game shown on CSN this season, as well as assorted other days during the off-season.

Thanks for your continued support on this blog!
