Cam York has established himself as one of the top Flyers prospects in the system in just a matter of a few years. It’s no secret as to why, he was just poised, confident, and he infused this young talented Michigan team with confidence. Well, today a new journey begins as he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Flyers that will begin this season. He will play for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms at some point, and maybe the Flyers, as well, if he impresses.
York was a very unselfish player this past season as he stuck up for his teammate John Beecher on multiple occasions. He makes crisp tape to tape passes that led to offensive rushes, kept pucks in at the blue line on the Power Play, and had a niche for the net.
This young 20-year-old in York had a marvelous season. He finished the season with four goals, and 16 assists for a total of 20 points in 24 games played. He also finished with a Gold medal at the WJC, as well.
York is very good with gap control as he’s like a leech on his opponents, and suffocates his opponents at the blue line. He has become excellent with quick zone exits, which leads to him joining the rush up the ice.

He’s not the fastest skater, but he’s a solid skater. York is an intelligent hockey player, has a good hockey sense, and knows when to pinch at the right times. York makes his teammates better, and he sticks up for them. John Beecher was leveled on Sunday night by Jacob Wilson. He didn’t like the hit and went after Wilson. I did not know York was known for this type of feistiness, but Flyers fans love players like this.
Hopefully York continues to play at a high level, and will impress with the Flyers and the Phantoms.
