CAM YORK

He recorded a career-high 53 points in 1990 and played 799 career games. Nevertheless, he still went on to play 1,068 career games, the most of any Wolverine. He ranks 20th at Michigan with 175 career points during his four seasons from 1991-95. The British Columbia native also had a great NHL career, playing in 934 games, most in a Canucks sweater. One night after finishing his Michigan career in 1961, he suited up for the Montreal Canadiens – the start of a successful 17-year playing career.

Michigan sophomore Cam York is turning pro. 14 overall draft pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, signed his three-year entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. “Thank you to the University of Michigan for the opportunity to play hockey for such an amazing institution,” York said in a statement. To everyone behind the scenes of Michigan hockey, thank you for all you do for us. And last but not least, to the Children of Yost and all Michigan hockey fans.

Michigan and Ohio State never had a chance to face off in the Big Ten hockey tournament last year as the season was canceled just before their semifinal matchup. His shot deflected off sophomore defenseman Cam York’s skate for a 2-0 lead midway through the second. Cam York on the doorstep to redirect a Luke Morgan drive and Michigan takes a 2-0 lead! Few of the shots he faced came from high-danger areas until mid-way through the third period when Morgan was assessed a five-minute major penalty. Even the third period, we got off to a good start and then just didn’t like the penalty we took.

During Michigan’s first two-game series against Minnesota this season, the Wolverines were missing five of their top players to the World Junior Championship. While Michigan is out of the Big Ten regular season title race, head coach Mel Pearson believes Friday’s win should be enough to get his team in the NCAA Tournament. 3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, and Minnesota, which still has a shot at finishing first, close the regular season Saturday. This is a big win against Minnesota. Bordeleau (26 points), Johnson (23 points), Beniers (19 points) and Brisson (18 points) – all freshmen – are the team’s top four leading scorers.

The Wolverines returned to the ice Friday and dominated Michigan State from start to finish, skating away with a 9-0 victory at Yost Ice Arena. It was Michigan’s first game since facing Minnesota on Dec. 9, when it suffered its third straight loss heading into winter break. With his two assists, Mann also was one of seven Michigan players to record multiples points.

With both teams coming into Friday with eight points in the Big Ten, Michigan, which has won five straight against MSU dating back to last season, moves into fourth place.

Three Michigan hockey players will be bringing gold medals back to Ann Arbor. Sophomore defenseman Cam York and freshmen forwards Brendan Brisson and Matty Beniers helped Team USA upset Team Canada 2-0 in the World Junior Championship gold-medal game Tuesday night in Edmonton, Alberta. Tuesday’s win against the heavily favored Canadians gives the U.S. its first gold medal in the yearly tournament since 2017. York, a 2019 first-round pick of the Philadelphia Flyers, has two goals and three assists. The ninth-ranked Wolverines begin the second half of their season Friday against Michigan State at Yost Ice Arena.

I have more things to say about Mortiz Seider, the future of the Red Wings, and a lot more as we prepare to welcome back pro hockey to our TVs. I would have appreciated St. Louis in the Central with the Red Wings, and perhaps that could still happen? The rest of the teams, including the Toledo Walleye, are expected to join the others and start playing on Jan. 15. The Red Wings have seven prospects playing in this tournament:🇸🇪 Team Sweden -- five Red Wings prospects:🇫🇮 Team Finland -- one Red Wings prospect:🇨🇿 Team Czech Republic -- one Red Wings prospect:Seider rules 💪🇩🇪Of course, as you may have heard, German defenseman Moritz Seider (round 1, 6th overall in 2019 draft) has decided not to participate in this tournament. In 44 career NHL games with Detroit and Toronto, he has four goals and five assists.
