Career

edit

Yearwood began attending St. Lawrence University in 1983 but didn't play with the ice hockey team until the following year. He was a serviceable goaltender in his first two seasons as a starter but the team improved mightily in his senior season. Yearwood's goals against average dropped by more than a full point and he finished in the top 5 in the nation. He was named an All-American while helping the Saints to their best finish in decades.[2] In the ECAC Tournament, St. Lawrence made the championship game for the first time in 22 years and, though they lost, the team earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Larries had the misfortune to be set against the #1 seed and fell to eventual champion North Dakota. While Yearwood still have a year of eligibility left, he graduated in 1987 and was invited to Montreal's training camp. Nothing came to fruition and he retired as a player.

He moved to Ontario and began working as a sales representative. He spent several years as a senior account manager and eventually worked his way up to becoming a Vice President for Redwolf Security.[3]
