Mother of former Penguins star headed to prison after massive scandal
Jack Johnson is back in the spotlight, and this time it has nothing to do with hockey.
It's a story that's resurfacing from one of the most difficult chapters of his life.
And it just took another turn.
Kristina Johnson, his mother, has now been sentenced to 15 months in prison tied to financial misconduct during a bankruptcy case.
That comes after his father, John Johnson, received an 18-month sentence earlier this year.
It brings everything back into focus.
Because this isn't new for those who followed Johnson's career closely.
It's part of a story that has followed him for years.
His dad, John Johnson was sentenced to 18 months back in march.
You might remember that his parents got Jack for $15 million dollars.

Mother of former Penguins defenseman sentenced in disturbing case
Long before this latest ruling, Jack Johnson's situation became one of the most talked-about off-ice stories in the NHL.
He lost an estimated $15 million due to financial mismanagement tied directly to his parents.
That number still hits.
Especially when you consider where he was in his career at the time - a young NHL player just starting to establish himself.
Instead of building stability, everything unraveled behind the scenes.
And it didn't stay quiet.
The legal issues dragged on for years, eventually leading to bankruptcy and a very public fallout.
Now, with both parents receiving prison sentences, that chapter is back in the headlines.
For Johnson, it's a reminder of what he had to navigate while continuing to play at the NHL level.
And that matters.
Because through all of it, he kept going.
Teams changed. Roles changed. Expectations shifted.
But he stayed in the league.
That resilience has always been part of his story.
Still, moments like this bring everything back.
Not the player.
The person behind it.
And even years later, it's clear that story isn't fully in the past.
