SCOUTING REPORTS:
Craig Button, TSN Draft Analyst
"Runs the PP and is a very difficult player to 'trap' in any area of the game with his skating. Very strong puck skills and puck gets to advantageous spots."
Bill Meltzer, PhiladelphiaFlyers.com contributor
"York isn't big (5-foot-11, 172 pounds) but fits the puck-moving mold that has been highly valued in recent years. York can jump into the play as a trailer in the offensive end, is a slick passer and has point-producing potential even at higher levels of the game."
Sam Cosentino, Rogers SportsNet
"Puck moving defenceman who can get it done on the power play, his U18 numbers are amongst the best single tournament totals ever put up by a defenceman with 11 points in seven games."
