Hutchins, 26, receives his first call up of the campaign and becomes the second Mississippi player to advance to the AHL this season joining Lee Jacobson, who remains on loan to Cincinnati. Selected as Mississippi's 2005 Coors Light ECHL All-Star Game representative on January 26 at Reading, Pennsylvania, Hutchins leads the Sea Wolves with 17 goals, six power-play markers and a plus/minus of +12. A native of Toronto, Ontario, Hutchins has also accumulated 32 points in 31 games, to go along with 108 penalty minutes. The 6-foot and 205-pound Hutchins was named runner up for the In Glas Co ECHL Player of the Week from December 27 to January 2.
In 2003-04, Hutchins appeared in 23 games with Rochester including one playoff game, tallying a total of one goal, four assists and 74 penalty minutes. Hutchins also received a call up for two games last season with the Houston Aeros of the AHL, where he picked up two penalty minutes.
Hutchins will be available to Rochester for the Americans home game at 7:35 p.m. ET tomorrow against the Utah Grizzlies at the Blue Cross Arena.
Cava, 24, missed just one game on injured reserve and continues to rank second in the ECHL with 14 major penalties. The 6-foot and 200-pound Cava has registered three goals, seven points and 116 penalty minutes in 28 games with Mississippi this season. A native of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Cava is in his fourth full professional season and third season with the Sea Wolves.
