History
With genetics on his side, Brett Sutter might receive a second look on nights when comparable players may not. He's the son of a NHL GM and his uncles make up the most storied hockey family in hockey history, but 18-year-old Brett says that while he fits the stereotypical Sutter mold, he's his own player and that he's not trying to ride on any coat tails.
In 70 games with the Kootenay Ice, Sutter scored 19 points but was one of only two non-goalies on the team to not have a positive plus/minus rating; the checking winger was even. Sutter added three points in the playoffs and was a +2 in Kootenay's 16 games. It was the second season in Kootenay for Sutter who dressed 44 times for the Ice in 2003-04 and had 12 points. It's disappointing that his point production actually decreased with an extra year of experience and maturity especially considering his year began at Canada's U-18 camp in Calgary where he unsuccessfully competed for the opportunity to represent in Slovakia in August.
