Mike York Biography

Mike York is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on January 3, 1978 in Waterford Township, Waterford Township, United States. Michael Allan York (born January 3, 1978) is an American former professional ice hockey left winger. He last played and captained the Iserlohn Roosters of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).

On July 11, 2008, he signed a contract with KHL team HC Sibir Novosibirsk; he opted out of this deal on July 25, after he signed a one-year deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Following that season, on August 19, 2009, he signed an AHL-only contract with the Rochester Americans, allowing him to sign with any NHL team during the season. On September 10, 2010, he signed a one-year contract with the Lathi Pelicans of the Finnish Liiga.

After a total of six seasons within the Roosters organization, York was not re-signed by the club following the 2015–16 season. Earning a cult status throughout his tenure in Iserlohn, it was announced that York’s number 78 would be taken out of circulation, to be retired by the club at a later date. On September 2, 2016, York announced the end of his playing career, in accepting a student assistant coaching role in returning to Michigan State University to complete a communications degree.

He was later dealt to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Tom Poti, who had become a target of fans for his perceived indifference. In Edmonton, York became an integral part of the team, playing on the top two lines and also on the penalty kill, where for a time he formed a formidable duo with Todd Marchant. In the 2004–05 season he played in Germany for the Iserlohn Roosters in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. He was the second best scorer in the whole league. On August 3, 2005, York was traded from the Oilers to the New York Islanders with a conditional draft pick in exchange for Michael Peca. After a season and a half with the Islanders, he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for Randy Robitaille and a 5th round draft pick on December 20, 2006. He signed with the Phoenix Coyotes to a 1-year, $1 million contract in the off-season.
