ESTERO, Fla. – The ECHL announced today that Cam Johnson has been named to the 2024-25 All-ECHL First Team.
Johnson, 30, receives this honor for the first time in his career. The Troy, Michigan native leads the ECHL with 36 wins this season, with a 36-6-3-1 record and .920 save percentage in 46 games this season. He also leads the league in minutes played (2,788) and goals against average (1.94) this year, while holding a share of the shutout lead with five, alongside Jack LaFontaine of the Kansas City Mavericks and Ben Kraws of the Idaho Steelheads.
This is the first regular season award Johnson has won in the ECHL. The three-time Kelly Cup Champion has been the Blades backbone over their threepeat run, winning the June. M.

Johnson is the only player on the All-ECHL First Team from the Eastern Conference. He is the first Everblade to earn this award since John McCarron in 2021. Alex Kilewas on the team last year as a member of the Maine Mariners.
