Daily News | Flyers’ Cam York working to improve his defensive game with an eye on a close mentor
When 13-year NHL veteran Justin Braun entered the league at 23 years old with the San Jose Sharks, he quickly realized he wasn’t going to be able to hammer opponents into the boards to break up plays in the style of say defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen.
“Once he came up this year, I thought overall, his game looked great,” Braun said of York. “His puck skills, his vision on the ice, breakouts, those are tough things to come up at this speed to look really good right from the hop, his first game. But it takes a little time to, if you’re not a big guy, to go stick-on-puck.”, York has been tabbed as a more offensive-minded player since his tenures with the U.S. national team development program and the University of Michigan.
During the on-ice practice sessions between games, York is working closely with assistant coach Brad Shaw on different aspects of his defensive game, including his stick and body positioning. Plus, he has a mentor in Braun, who remains a leader on the team despite not always being in the lineup. “I think Justin Braun has probably one of the best sticks that I’ve ever played with,” York said. “So it just always seems like it’s in the forward’s face and they never have time and space. He was my first ever D partner up here and I feel like I was able to learn a lot from him. He obviously has a ton of experience and he’s a great guy for me to kind of learn from.”
