Career

Player career

Young played for Boston University during his junior years and took part in the 1985 , 1986 and 1987 World Championships with the US junior national team. In the 1986 NHL Entry Draft , he was selected by the Hartford Whalers in the first round as eleventh player. After participating in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary , Canada , he joined the Whalers.

The 1988/89 season was his first full season in the NHL. He made the breakthrough immediately and was one of the top performers of the Whalers. In the middle of the 1990/91 season he moved to the Pittsburgh Penguins and was able to win the Stanley Cup with the team . The following year he played mainly in Italy at HC Bozen and prepared with Team USA for the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville , France .

For the 1992/93 season he moved to the Nordiques de Québec . He stayed there for five years and moved the team to Denver, where he won his second Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche . This period was interrupted by the strike before the 1994/95 season . He bridged this time in Germany, where he played one game for the Frankfurt Lions and four games for EV Landshut .

The 1997/98 season he played with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim , for the 1998/99 season he moved to the St. Louis Blues . His personal best of 73 points and his third participation in the Olympic Games also fall in the four years of the season there. In Salt Lake City 2002 he won the silver medal with Team USA.

From the 2002/03 season he played for the Dallas Stars and during this time also his 1,000 NHL appearance falls. In the 2004/05 strike season he made a brief stint with the Memphis Riverkings in the CHL. He returned once more to the Blues, who were last in their division in the 2005/06 season . At almost 38 years of age, he proved that he was not yet an old man. He was the top scorer in St. Louis, but after the end of the season he ended his active career.

Trainer and functionary career

After a hiatus of several years, Young returned to ice hockey in 2010. He took a coaching job at St. Mark's School , his former high school. He worked there until the summer of 2014 and returned to the ice himself in the spring of 2012 when he supported the Swedish fourth division team Brunflo IK in advancing to the third rate hockey team . The then 44-year-old collected seven scorer points in two games and was thus instrumental in the success.

As of 2014, Young served at his alma mater , Boston University. Initially for one year as Director of Hockey Operations , followed by two years as the team's assistant coach. At the beginning of the 2017/18 season , the American was signed by his ex-team Pittsburgh Penguins, where he has since been employed as Director of Player Development . He was also employed as an assistant coach for the US ice hockey association USA Hockey at the 2017 Germany Cup and the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea .
