Daily News | ‘Wherever I see an opportunity, I’m going to take it:’ Flyers defenseman Cam York’s offensive mindset
At the end of the very first day of Flyers training camp, coach John Tortorella put the team through a lap skate. Then, finally, a bag skate. Following a grueling day in which the team was just getting acquainted with their new head coach, Tortorella pulled then-21-year-old defenseman Cam York off to the side for a conversation, catching York off guard.
As York learns to embrace this newfound task, he’s leaned on Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski for advice. The 25-year-old Werenski, who played for the U.S. National Team Development Program and the University of Michigan just like York did, was also utilized as a rover when Tortorella coached the Blue Jackets.
“Wherever I see an opportunity, I’m going to take it,” York said. “So just saw green light there. TK made a nice play to Joel and Joel made a good pass to me. I feel like I’ve been getting a lot of good chances like that lately, just the puck hasn’t gone in the net necessarily. But I’m happy I’m getting the chances and just want to continue to put myself in positions to get them.”
“As a team, when things start going well offensively, you’re having more fun,” York said. “Offensively, I think we’ve come a long way since the start of the year. We’re winning games, I think, because of that. I think everyone is starting to realize that sometimes you’ve got to risk it for the biscuit, I guess.”After a 40-day NHL hiatus, backup goalie Felix Sandström will start in goal against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night, according to Tortorella.
