Career

Mike York learned to play ice hockey at the age of three. Since 1995 he played in the team at Michigan State University , where he also studied economics. In the 1997 NHL Entry Draft , he was drafted in the sixth round in 136th place by the New York Rangers . In 1999, USA Hockey named Mike York the best US university player.

At the end of the 1998/99 season, the Rangers brought York to the Hartford Wolf Pack , their farm team in the AHL . For the New York Rangers he played from the 1999/2000 season in the National Hockey League and was third in his rookie season in the Calder Memorial Trophy classification . Shortly before the end of the 2001/02 season , he was given to the Edmonton Oilers . In that year he was also part of the USA team at the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City and won the silver medal. Because Eric Lindros was out, he was also nominated for the NHL All-Star Game . He stayed with the Oilers until 2004.

The Iserlohn Roosters secured an NHL star with Mike York before the 2004/05 DEL season, as there was disagreement between the representatives of the NHL and the NHLPA players' union over a new collective agreement in the North American professional league and a lockout was therefore increasingly likely. The captain of the Roosters Bryan Adams played for a long time with York in Michigan. Today he's his best friend overseas. Adams came up with the idea that his current team could sign York. An offer that the Sauerlanders - despite the risk of York's early return to the NHL after the end of the lockout - did not turn down. After the main round of the 2004/05 season , he was also voted “Best Center of the DEL” by trainers, shareholders and specialist journalists. In 52 games with the Roosters, he scored 16 goals and 46 assists and played in the 2005 DEL All-Star Game .

For the 2005/06 season he returned to North America, in the meantime he had been given up against Mike Peca and draft rights to the New York Islanders . Also in the 2006/07 season York first played for the New York Islanders, but was transferred to the Philadelphia Flyers on December 20, 2006 in exchange for center forward Randy Robitaille and a five-round draft right. Throughout the season he scored ten goals and eleven assists, his weakest season in the NHL.

In the summer of 2007 he signed a contract with the Phoenix Coyotes as a free agent . Here, too, York did not find its way back to old strength and undercut the values ​​of the previous season with six goals and eight assists. At the end of the season he was no longer in the squad and only made 63 games. As a result, press agencies initially reported that he was moving to the newly founded Continental Hockey League for HK Sibir Novosibirsk , after he had previously been in conversation with the Cologne Sharks from the DEL. On July 25, however, the Columbus Blue Jackets from the NHL announced that they could get York to sign a one-year contract that applies to both the NHL team and the farm team. In the training camp before the season, he could not secure a place in the NHL squad, so he was sent to the AHL to the Syracuse Crunch . There he spent, with the exception of a game for the Blue Jackets in the NHL, the entire season and was his team's top scorer. In August 2009 he signed an annual contract with Rochester Americans . In October 2010 York signed with the Pelicans in the SM-liiga .

For the 2011/12 season he returned to the Iserlohn Roosters in the DEL, where he was under contract until the end of the 2015/16 season and was appointed captain before the 2014/2015 season. In April 2016, his contract was not renewed, but his jersey number 78 was banned by the Roosters. From September 2016 worked as an assistant coach in the ice hockey program of his alma mater , Michigan State University . He has been an assistant coach at Lake Superior State University since 2017 .
