Thursday, December 6, 2018 — 5A

Though Michigan can only 
have one of freshman Strauss 
Mann 
or 
junior 
Hayden 
Lavigne in the net at a time, 
and a permanent starter may 
emerge among them, the two 
goaltenders continue to forge a 
relationship unique to the two 
 
of them and the position itself.
Yet, 
they 
remain 
in 
competition. 
Lavigne 
and 
Mann are hovering around .500 
with Michigan looking for a 
spark. 
Both netminders have almost 
identical stat lines — 3.28 
goals 
allowed 
against, 177 saves 
and a .881 save 
percentage 
for 
Mann 
compared 
to 3.20, 179, .877 
for Lavigne. Still, 
each player brings 
something unique 
to the table. While 
Mann is more of a 
rangy goaltender 
that wanders out 
of the net, Lavigne prefers to sit 
back patiently in the crease.
“I think goalie is a special 
position,” 
said 
Michigan 
coach 
Mel 
Pearson. 
“With 
forwards you have 15 forwards 
and you play 12 ... It’s a little 
bit different. It’s a unique 
relationship between goalies. 
Goalies are different.”
Pearson’s 
sentiment 
also 
holds true in the way that 
Lavigne and Mann process the 
ups and downs of the game. 

Lavigne is someone who rides 
the waves of his emotions — 
positive or negative — while 
Mann is more straight-lined, 
not having or showing much of 
a reaction to anything.
“Mann’s 
always 
been 
very 
upbeat, 
very 
positive, 
intelligent, 
competitive 
and 
he’s an easy guy to talk to and 
he’s always been that way,” 
Pearson said. “He’s a pretty 
level-headed kid. I don’t think 
he can tell if he’s won a game 
or lost a game. His highs aren’t 
really high, but his lows aren’t 
really low.”
In Michigan’s run to the 
Frozen Four, LaFontaine served 
as 
Lavigne’s 
confidant 
— 
someone 
whose 
shoulder 
he 
could 
lean 
on in spite of 
the 
ongoing 
competition. 
Mann doesn’t 
fulfill 
this 
role, 
and 
shouldn’t 
necessarily. As a freshman, he 
needs time to adjust to college 
hockey and get comfortable 
himself 
at 
Michigan 
— 
something that Lavigne and 
LaFontaine had the luxury of 
doing together.
Rather, 
Mann 
guides 
by 
example more than by direct 
emotional 
support. 
Though 
Mann was thrown into the 
fire in his first start in a 6-5 
loss at Western Michigan and 
withstood a 12-goal offensive 

onslaught to split two starts at 
Penn State, his reaction was no 
different to those games than it 
was in wins.
“I think it’s important to 
show excitement when it’s due, 
but at the same time you have 
to be able to restrain that (non) 
excitement when it’s negative,” 
Lavigne 
said. 
“Looking 
at 
Strauss, that’s something I can 
learn from him, he’s really good 
at just goaltending without 
getting frustrated. There’s stuff 
we can learn from each other, 
and the median between us 
both is the spot that we want to 
try to get to.”
It’s exactly that collaborative 
mindset, though, that keeps 
Mann level-headed in the face 
of the competition and season 
at hand. Sure, it might have 
stung not to get a start in either 
game in the Wisconsin series 
after playing both games in 
State College. He and Lavigne, 
however, 
know 
that 
every 
moment, whether it’s on or off 
the ice, serves as an opportunity 
to help the team out and further 
their respective career arcs.
“The interesting part about 
the goalie-partner relationship 
is that there can only be one guy 
in the net,” Mann said. “So just 
that being a fact, it gets very 
competitive between the two 
goalies, because at the end of 
the day you want to be the one 
in the net. But at the same time, 
you have to realize that your 
career is a journey, and even if 
you’re not playing you can still 
get better in so many ways and 
learn stuff from your partner.”

The kid from somewhere else: 
Cam York commits to Michigan

When Cam York took the ice 
at Yost Ice Arena for the first 
time as a member of the U.S. 
National Team Development 
Program’s U18 team, he didn’t 
know that it would be his 
future home arena.
York 
initially 
committed 
to Boston College back in 
2016, largely because of then-
associate head coach Greg 
Brown. Brown coached the 
defensemen, which drew York 
to the Eagles. When Brown left 
to be an assistant coach for the 
New York Rangers, York went 
looking for other options.
“With 
(Boston 
College) 
losing 
their 
defensive 
head 
coach, 
that was a big 
reason 
why 
I went there 
in 
the 
first 
place, so it was 
disappointing 
to me,” York 
said. 
“I 
decommitted 
from there and 
looked at other options and 
Michigan was the place for me. 
I think with their coaching 
staff and their facilities and 
what they have to offer, I knew 
that Michigan was the right 
choice.”
While 
he 
was 
leaning 
toward Michigan, York was 
still 
uncommitted 
when 
the NTDP played at Yost in 
October.
But it didn’t take too long 
during that game for the crowd 
to show him what Michigan 
hockey is all about.
“I think that was kind of 
the cherry on top,” York said. 
“That’s what kind of sold me, 
for sure. Just the atmosphere 
of that place and just the way 
that Michigan fans support 
their team. It’s a special 

place.”
And 
just 
a 
few 
weeks 
after 
playing 
that 
game, 
York 
officially 
announced 
his 
commitment 
to 
the 
Wolverines. He is Michigan’s 
12th commitment for the class 
of 2019 — a class that ranks 
first in the nation, according 
to Neutral Zone.
York is eligible for the 2019 
NHL Entry Draft, and many 
expect him to be a first-round 
pick. He ranks inside the top 
20 among eligible prospects by 
four of the six major scouting 
websites.
His skill as a two-way 
defenseman is exemplified by 
the fact that he has 16 points in 
22 games this season, as well 
as a plus-minus 
rating of plus-
nine.
The 
NTDP 
has sent quite 
a 
few 
players 
to 
join 
the 
college 
ranks 
at Michigan in 
the 
past 
few 
years, including 
sophomore 
defenseman 
Quinn Hughes and sophomore 
forward Josh Norris. York’s 
class seems to be no exception, 
as 
he 
and 
forward 
John 
Beecher are set to join the 
Wolverines next fall.

“We’re super excited,” York 
said. “Me and (Beecher) have 
become pretty good friends 
here. He’s a really good player, 
so I’m really excited to be able 
to play with him at the college 
hockey level.”
In 
addition 
to 
playing 
with his current teammate, 
York is also excited to play 
for a team that has such 
widespread support. Hailing 
from Anaheim Hills, Calif. 
— not exactly a hotbed for 
hockey — the fervor with 
which Michigan fans support 
the Wolverines was one of the 
first things he noticed when he 
started thinking about coming 
to Michigan, even outside Yost 
Ice Arena.
“You 
see 
guys 
wearing 
Michigan 
hoodies, 
there’s 
Michigan on license plates 
and stuff like that,” York said. 
“The state of Michigan just 
supports their team so much 
and I think that’s something 
that I really noticed and was 
really drawn to as a kid from 
somewhere else.”
If York gets drafted as high 
as he’s expected to be this 
summer, he’ll take the ice for 
the Wolverines next year with 
plenty of attention. 
Those Michigan fans he’s 
so drawn to will have their 
eyes on him — the kid from 
somewhere else.
