Capitals Corner Profile: Andy Sutton

Tonight's guest in Capitals Corner is rugged and versitile player Andy Sutton. The 30-year-old bruiser can play forward and defense and he brings a great physical presence to the lineup.

The 6-6 and 234 pound bruiser has great strength and is a good passer. He's also strong in the offensive end. Sutton has good durability, but he really needs to improve his discipline. Playing mostly at forward last year, Andy scored seven goals and dished out 11 assists with 59 hits and 208 PIMs in 50 games.

A native of Kingston, Ontario, Sutton played soccer, rugby, and golf growing up. He went on to attend Michigan Tech and had a fine career in college. He scored 22 goals and passed out 34 assists with 270 PIMs in 122 collegiate games. He was All-WCHA Second Team and the co-Defensive Player of the Year in 1997-98.

Andy is married to Natalie and he resides in Big Rideau Lake, just north of Kingston, in the offseason.
