Playing career
Yeo started his junior career with the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League, where he played from 2003 to 2005, scoring a combined 20 points in goals and assists during regular season play.
From 2005 to 2007, Yeo skated with the Calgary Hitmen, also of the WHL. During the 2006-07 season, Yeo led the team's regular season plus-minus statistic with a +27.[1] While with the Hitmen, he scored 53 points in combined goals and assists during regular season play, and netted 14 points during the post-season.
Yeo turned pro in 2007, moving to the ECHL's Victoria Salmon Kings, where he played from 2007 to 2009. While with the Salmon Kings, he scored 71 points during regular season play, with 7 points in the post-season. Yeo was also called up to the Manitoba Moose, Victoria's AHL affiliate, for 23 games, where he racked up 7 points in the regular season.
In 2009, Yeo moved to the South Carolina Stingrays. Early in the season, he was called up to the Hershey Bears, the Stingrays' AHL affiliate, for 2 games, after which he returned to the Stingrays. Yeo played 49 games with the Stingrays in the 2009–10 season, tallying 30 points in 14 goals and 16 assists in the regular season. That combined with the goal and assist Yeo netted in 5 games of the 2010 Kelly Cup playoffs made him the Stingrays' top-scoring defenceman. Following the Stingrays' elimination in the first round of the playoffs, Yeo was recalled to the Bears, playing 2 games and earning 5 penalty minutes in the 2010 Calder Cup playoffs. Hershey would ultimately win the Calder Cup that year.
Yeo re-signed with the Stingrays for the 2010–11 season, but was called up to Hershey early in the season.
Career notes
During his time with the Hitmen, Yeo once sang the Canadian National Anthem before a game.
In the 2009–10 season with the Stingrays, Yeo played with a pink hockey stick. The stick was raffled off with proceeds going to support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation.
