Meet our Coaches

AARON JOHNSON

JV HEAD COACH

I'm from Lino Lakes, MN, where I played youth hockey while growing up in Centennial. I started late in my hockey career, after playing basketball until 7th grade. I took a chance to lace up the skates and fell in love with hockey. 

I attended the University of Minnesota-Duluth, majoring in Communication and double-minoring in Coaching and Journalism. I played intramural hockey in Duluth and took advantage of all the well-kept outdoor rinks! This is also where I got my coaching background as an assistant coach with the Proctor Boys High School team. I loved working with the team and helping the kids develop their skills. I'm extremely excited to get back into coaching with Hopkins! 

I work for Target in their digital department. Outside of work, I play in the Minnesota Wild Adult Hockey League, and I am in the midst of wedding planning with my fiance, Kenzie.

ERIC WESTLUND

VARSITY ASSISTANT COACH

I grew up playing hockey in Hutchinson, MN. After graduation, I attended the University of St. Thomas, began coaching hockey at North St. Paul, and quickly discovered a new passion. A job brought me back to Hutchinson, where I spent seven years coaching and served as Coach-In-Chief for the association for an additional two years.

After a few years in Virginia, coaching 14u AA with the Roanoke Valley Youth Hockey Association, I got the opportunity to move back to Minnesota. I feel blessed to be a part of the Hopkins High School Hockey coaching staff. It has been a dream to coach at the high school level in Minnesota since hanging up the skates. On weekdays, I work at Hopkins High School as a Special Education teacher. Away from work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife, Abbie, and our two dogs, Remi and Winnie.
