By Dennis Manoloff
Position: Forward
Shoots: Right
Born: March 28, 1984, New York, N.Y.
Ht/Wt: 6-6, 231
Acquired: Free agent.
PD: Highlight of pro career?
HJ: Playing in my first NHL game last season, with Florida. We
were on an AHL trip from Syracuse to Rochester, it was 3 in the
morning, and I got called to the front of the bus. It was a long
time coming, so I felt really good. There was a rush.
PD: What do you need to do to get back to the NHL and stay
there?
HJ: The biggest thing is my skating, and the speed that comes with
it. In just the few weeks I've been with Lake Erie, I already feel
faster and stronger. I think my skating has improved tenfold
thanks to coach [David] Quinn and coach [David] Oliver."
