Jason Andrew York(born May 20, 1970) is a Canadian former professionalice hockeyplayer in theNational Hockey League(NHL), current broadcaster, semi-professional golfer and an all around beauty. A defenceman, he played for theDetroit Red Wings,Mighty Ducks of Anaheim,Ottawa Senators,Nashville Predators,and last playing for theBoston Bruinsduring the2006–07season. He was previously a hockey analyst onMontreal Canadiens' broadcasts onSportsnet.
Playing career
[edit]York was selected in the seventh round (129th overall) of the1990 NHL Entry Draftby theDetroit Red Wings.His first NHL game was played during the1992–93 NHL seasonwhen he suited up for the Red Wings December 3, 1992 against theMinnesota North Stars.He scored his first NHL goal April 10, 1994 against fellowNepeannativeFred Brathwaiteof theEdmonton Oilers.
Despite excelling in the minors, York found it difficult to crack a deep Detroit line-up and, after playing only nineteen games over three seasons for the Red Wings, he was traded to theMighty Ducks of AnaheimApril 5, 1995 along withMike Sillingerin exchange forStu Grimson,Mark Ferner,and a draft pick. In Anaheim, York was able to establish himself as an NHL regular and turned in a solid season in1995–96,posting 3 goals and 21 assists for 24 points in 79 games. York was traded to theOttawa Senatorson October 1, 1996 withShaun Van Allenin exchange forTed Druryand the rights toMarc Moro.Then-Ottawa general manager (GM)Pierre Gauthierhad gained familiarity with York in his previous job as Anaheim's assistant GM.
Playing in his hometown of Ottawa, York hit his stride as a quality NHL player, establishing himself as a steady 2 way defenceman on an up-and-coming Senators team. In1998–99,he enjoyed his finest offensive season as he recorded 35 points to lead all Senators' defencemen in scoring. He spent five steady seasons in Ottawa where the club made the playoffs each year York was there before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2001.
York returned to Anaheim as a free agent for the2001–02campaign, signing a three-year, $6 million contract. He turned in another solid year but was traded at the start of the2002–03season to the Nashville Predators. York lead the Predators with the top plus minus in his first year with the club and helped Nashville make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history the following year.
Many figured that the2004–05 NHL lock-outwould end his NHL career, as it did for many veteran players; after not playing in 2004–2005 due to 3 major surgeries and the passing of his father, York signed withHC Luganofor the 2005–06 season, where he would win the Swiss League championship. He performed well enough to earn another chance in the NHL, signing with theBoston Bruinsfor the2006–07season and appearing in 49 games with Boston. York suffered 3 knee injuries that season which ended his career. He scored one goal for Boston, on February 20, 2007, in the Bruins' 3-0 win at Toronto. It was his final NHL goal.
In 757 NHL games over 13 seasons, York recorded 42 goals and 187 assists for 229 points, along with 621 penalty minutes. He added 2 goals and 9 points in 34 playoff games, getting as far as the second round once (in 1998, when the Senators were eliminated by the eventualStanley CupfinalistWashington Capitals).
Post-retirement
[edit]York started his broadcasting career in 2008 on Ottawa's all-sports radio station,TSN 1200after completing the NHLPA life after hockey broadcasting program at Quinnipiac University. From 2008 to 2013 York co-hosted the daily afternoon-drive showThe Healthy Scratchesand later went on to co-host the mid morning show, In The Box, both with Steve Lloyd. York also dabbled in writing as well with the Ottawa Sun where he wrote his weekly column, the York State of Mind during his time on Ottawa Sports radio. In 2011, York also began appearing onSportsnettelevision broadcasts for Ottawa Senators games, adding commentary with co-host Ian Mendes, and later with Shawn McKenzie. With the move of the Senators toTSNin 2014 York took on a new larger role with Sportsnet as the television colour analyst for theMontreal Canadienswith John Bartlett. York also has begun working on Hockey Night in Canada as a colour analyst.
On July 19, 2017, York as part of an ownership group, purchased theKemptville 73'sof theCentral Canada Hockey League,from former NHL goaltenderRon Tugnutt.York was also installed as the team's director of hockey operations.[1]
