‘Jay McKee, a 13-year NHL defenseman who played for the Sabres from 1995-2006, was Malhotra’s coach in Brantford. McKee is now the coach of the Hamilton Hammers of the American Hockey League, named to the post May 29 by the New York Islanders. McKee gave Malhotra high praise last month when he spoke with Vancouver-based sports talk radio show “Donnie and Dhali.” “As special as he was as a player, what really stands out about Caleb is the person he was off the ice, an incredibly high-character type of person, a player I can see being an NHL captain one day,” McKee said.’
