But they couldn't guarantee me a spot, so I thought I'd better go home and get back to school," he explained. "For flee days, I was taking all kinds of therapy like muscle stimulators, but the leg didn't re- spond." ' New Jersey wanted to see him in another exhibition game, but he couldn't skate because of the injury, so he came home to start another season with the Golden Hawks. Although the training camp didn't go as well as he would have liked, McCutcheon still found the experience beneficial to his game. “I now know what I have to improve on, my defensive skills. I want to improve on that aspect, but at the same time keep my offensive production up," said McCutcheon. who scored the winning goal in Hawks' 5-3 win over Guelph Saturday. "He told me not to take any crap, and to play my own game. He said that I should try to play with the puck and not away from it," McCutcheon said of his brother, who tried out this season with Calgary, but was sent down to their farm team in Moncton. McCutcheon left camp with optimism, that he might return next year with another spot at making it.

His brother Darwin, who has played in the NHL with Calgary and Toronto told him to expect a rough and competitive camp because everyone is out for a spot on the team. “Mai McNah (the New Jersey GM) told me that what he saw he Fruit Juices 885-1 030 140 Dearborn PL, WIoo. liked. He said they would watch me closely this season, but warned me they only invite the best possible players to camp." "This is the year I have to do something, even if I just want to make the AHL.
