After three years with theBrandon Wheat Kings in theWestern Hockey League, Yake was drafted by the Hartford Whalers in the 4th round, 81st overall in the1987 NHL Entry Draft. Yake then returned to the Wheat Kings for one more season, scoring 140 points in 72 games.
The1988–89 season saw Yake make his professional debut, appearing in 75 games with theBinghamton Whalers of theAmerican Hockey League while also making his NHL debut with the Hartford Whalers, appearing in two games. The next three seasons saw Yake do much of the same; he played the majority of his time in the minors while playing sparingly with Whalers, most notably with theSpringfield Indians, for whom Yake scored 77 points in 60 games in1991 to help lead the Indians to their seventh and finalCalder Cup championship.
The1992–93 season was a breakout year for Yake. He appeared in 66 games with the Whalers and scored an NHL career high 53 points. The 1993–1994 season saw Yake enjoy another solid season. He was claimed by the newly formed Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and was the team's leading scorer for their inaugural season, scoring 52 points. He scored Anaheim's firsthat trick in the team's first road game against theNew York Rangers.[1]
Despite leading the team in points, the Mighty Ducks traded Yake to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1994. His tenure with the Maple Leafs was short lived, however. He appeared in only 19 games the whole year and would not see action in the NHL again until 1997. Yake signed with theBuffalo Sabres in 1996 and played the whole year with theRochester Americans, scoring 101 points in 78 games.
This play allowed for Yake to sign with the St. Louis Blues in 1997. With the Blues he was able to regain a regular spot in the NHL again. He played 2 full years with the Blues, scoring 25 and 27 points respectively. The1999–2000 season saw Yake play 26 games with the Blues before being traded to the Washington Capitals, where he appeared in another 35 games. For the 2000–2001 season Yake played in 12 games with the Capitals, playing the majority of the year with thePortland Pirates.[2]

He was named the player-coach ofLausanne HC of theNLB in 2008, but was fired in the fall of 2009 to end his professional career.
