Description

Cameron York (born January 5, 2001) is an American professional ice hockey player who is a defenseman for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted 14th overall by the Flyers in the first round of the 2019 NHL entry draft. Before being selected by the Flyers, York played ice hockey at Shattuck-St. Mary's and in the U.S. National Development Program.

Early life
York was born and raised in Anaheim, California. Growing up there, he played alongside Jackson Niedermayer, the son of Scott Niedermayer, who coached his youth hockey team. His father, Jeff, installed a roller skating rink surface in the backyard which York would skate on every day after school. It was through roller skating that York developed an affinity for hockey. After two defencemen on his youth team were injured, he was placed on defence and enjoyed the position. York played squirt and peewee hockey within the Anaheim Jr. Ducks minor program coached by Craig Johnson and Scott Niedermayer. Growing up, York's favourite team was the hometown Anaheim Ducks; he would frequently attend games and cites the Ducks' 2007 Stanley Cup victory as a catalyst for excelling at his own hockey career.

Once he turned 14, York enrolled in Shattuck-Saint Mary's, a Minnesota prep academy, where he totaled more than 100 points in two seasons. Afterwards, York was invited to the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in the USHL. While playing for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program U-18 team in the 2018–19 USHL season, York set a new single season record for points for a defenseman. On January 15, 2019, York set a new franchise record for most points in one game with seven. This earned him USHL's Defenseman of the Week Honors.
