Portland, Maine - The Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League announced this afternoon that they have signed Mark McCutcheon to a Professional Tryout Agreement.

The Ithica, NY native joined the Pirates in Norfolk for practice this morning.

In another roster move, Pirates rookie forward Maxime Legault has returned to Shawinigan of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Legault went pointless in five games.

The Pirates (2-5) continue a five game road trip tonight (Friday) when they travel to Norfolk for the first of back-to-back games against the Admirals.
