Career
[edit]Amateur
[edit]Young began playing hockey at age four, and by age eight, he was playing travel ice hockey for the Alaska All-Stars.[1] He began his junior career with the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League (WHL). In his first season with the Americans Young scored 19 goals and 43 points in 54 games, adding another goal and two points in two playoff games.[2] During the 1994–95 season, his second, with Tri-City Young was traded to the Red Deer Rebels.[3] Though he only scored 23 points in 51 games between the two teams, Americans' general manager Dennis Beyak stated it was a deal that could come back to haunt them.[2][3] In his first full season with Red Deer Young had a breakout season scoring 49 goals and 94 points.[2] He followed up by scoring 58 goals and 114 points in 63 games during the 1996–97 season.[2] The goal total led the WHL and he was named to the WHL East First All-Star Team.[2][4] In the off-season Young was drafted by the National Hockey League's (NHL) Detroit Red Wings in the sixth round, 157th overall, of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft.[5]
Professional
[edit]After being drafted Young signed three-year two-way contract with the Red Wings. He played in six preseason games for the Red Wings, but with Detroit being the defending Stanley Cup champions he was unable to make the team out of camp. He began his professional career with Detroit's American Hockey League affiliate, the Adirondack Red Wings.[6] Young played two seasons in Adirondack scoring 67 points in 123 games.[2] In his third professional season Young joined the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks who he led in goals with 25.[2][7] He also made his NHL debut during the season playing one game for the Red Wings. He played two shifts in the game without registering a point. It was the only NHL game of his career.[2][4]
In the off-season Young re-signed with Detroit.[8] He returned to Cincinnati but after 42 games Detroit moved Young to the Manitoba Moose in the International Hockey League (IHL).[2][9] Young finished the year scoring 22 goals and 51 points in 75 games between the two teams.[2] The following season he signed with his hometown Anchorage Aces in the West Coast Hockey League (WCHL).[2] He was named team captain for the 2002–03 season. After which he took a year off from hockey for personal and family matters.[4] Prior to the 2004–05 season he was given a tryout to return to the Aces, now called the Alaska Aces playing in the ECHL.[10] He made the team due in part to making an impression on the coaching staff after not quitting on a difficult conditioning skate. He recorded 13 goals and 35 points in 48 games in his final professional season.
