Johnson will retain his role as the General Manager of the Abbotsford Canucks.
"RJ has been an invaluable resource for me and the entire front office," Allvin said in a statemetn. "Not only has he done an excellent job in running our American Hockey League affiliate in Abbotsford, but he has also done a lot of great work on the hockey operations side. His player assessment and insightful advice has been a key driver for our improvement at both the AHL and NHL level."
Johnson has been with the Canucks organization since 2013 and was named GM of Abbotsford in 2021-22, the first season of Abbotsford being the location of the team's AHL team.
"Solidifying our hockey operations team was a key priority for me after I signed my extension," Allvin said about the extensions. "Cammi and Emilie fit in nicely with the group and I look forward to working with them and continuing our partnership moving forward. Having a strong, intelligent and diverse leadership team sets us up nicely for future success."
The Canucks have continued to solidify their front office and veteran culture since Jim Rutherford was named the President of Hockey Operations in 2020.
