Jack Johnson attended Shattuck-Saint Mary's Boarding School in Minnesota. As a sophomore during the 2002–2003 hockey season, he helped the team win the U.S. National Championship.
Johnson was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round, 3rd overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. Fearing losing him to free-agency after having him refuse to sign away from college, Canes' GM Jim Rutherford decided to get a defenseman that could play immediately. This resulted in the trade on September 29, 2006, that saw Johnson's rights, along with Oleg Tverdovsky, traded to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Tim Gleason and Éric Bélanger.
Johnson played two seasons for the University of Michigan in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. During his first year, he set the school record for single-season penalty minutes (149) and points (32) by a freshman defenseman. The next year, he set the school record for the most goals (16) by a sophomore defenseman in a single season and was named the CCHA Offensive Defenseman of the Year. During his tenure at Michigan, Johnson became a fan favorite for his physicality and end-to-end play.
Johnson signed with the Kings in March 2007 and played his first NHL game March 29, 2007 against the Vancouver Canucks. Johnson played five games on the season, recording eighteen penalty minutes and no points. Johnson recorded his first NHL point on October 10, 2007; assisting a Kyle Calder goal in a loss to the Dallas Stars. His first goal came against goalie Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks.
