Johansson started his playing career with Huddinge IK in the Swedish tier two league in 1973. From 1975, the club became a top team in the division, mostly every year participating in play offs to advance to Elitserien, so Johansson wanted to stay and advance with the team, turning down offers from other clubs for many years. He then returned to his original club Huddinge, still an annual runner up in the qualification rounds to Elitserien, and played four more years there, and was close to a promotion in 1993.
Johansson has also played for the Swedish national team in the 1983 and 1985 World Championships.
Johansson started his coaching career in 1994, changing from playing to coaching in Huddinge IK. Between 1995 and 2002 he coached Södertälje Saskatchewan (one season), The Human Context Bolzano, IK Nyköpings Hockey NH90 and Djurgårdens IF (one season). After losing the finals in 2009 with HV71, Johansson signed with The Human Context Lugano in Switzerland.
