Chris Johnston

Chris Johnston played left wing for the Central Texas Stampede across the franchise's final two seasons, and his numbers ranked among the most productive in team history. In 1999-2000 he put up 41 goals, 54 assists, and 95 points in 61 games — a pace that made him the Stampede's leading goal scorer during a 50-win campaign that claimed the Central Division title. He added 152 penalty minutes that season, a mark that reflected his physical presence at 6'4″ and 210 pounds. A newspaper photo from that playoff run showed him battling for a faceoff during third-round action against the Shreveport Mudbugs, with Gerald Tallaire at his side.

A mid-season stint on injured reserve slowed him in the back half of 1999-2000, but he returned and was among the players re-signed for the 2000-01 year. He appeared in all 38 games before the franchise folded in January 2001, finishing his Stampede career with 59 goals, 73 assists, and 132 points across 99 games.
