USA Captain Cam York has a nice ring to it.
York was not overlooked or overshadowed during the preliminary round of WJC 2021, he showed up to every game as a two-way Defenseman.
In game one against Russia, he was named player of the game for the US, even though he was a -2. This is really a testament to the two-way game he played and how he played a full 60 minutes. It also is a testament to his leadership abilities on the ice, as well. York also tied the game in game one. USA ultimately lost to Russia, 5-3.
USA played Austria in game two, where they blew Austria out of the water and won 11-0. York tallied one assist in this game and the power play, which York was on the top unit for, was 2-for-3.Â
York had three assists in game three against Czech Republic, which was insane. When you look at the final score of this game, though, it is a bit more understandable as the US won 7-0. But still, three points is huge.
In the final prelim game against Sweden, USA won 4-0. York was a bit quieter, but didn’t do anything negative.

York showed up for the prelims as a solid two-way defenseman as well as a good leader both on and off the ice. There’s a lot to be excited about with Cam York.
