HAWKS’ SUTTER CALLS IT QUITS
BLACKHAWKS Veteran right winger Duane Sutter officially announced his retirement July 6 to become the Blackhawks’ chief scout for Western Canada. Sutter, 30, spent 11 seasons in the NHL, including the last three with the Hawks. He played the previous eight years with the Islanders, where he was a member of four Stanley Cup teams. Sutter, who played the last two seasons despite an arthritic right knee, finished his 11-year career with 139 goals and 203 assists in 731 games.

POILE HAD LITTLE TIME TO ENJOY SUCCESS
David Poile finally had something to savor this spring, and much of the National Hockey League celebrated with him. Few in the business are more competent or dignified than Poile, the Washington general manager, and it was shown by the class he displayed every time the Capitals broke his heart, and those of the Washington fans.

SIMPSON GIVES PRO COACHING ANOTHER SHOT
Terry Simpson knew he’d be back. He just didn’t know where or when or how. July 18 it became official. The 47-year-old junior hockey legend is a member of the precarious NHL coaching fraternity once again. “The challenge is always there to get back,” Simpson said after it was confirmed he’d replace Alpo Suhonen as Bob Murdoch’s assistant with the Winnipeg Jets. “I think in the coaching situation you always try to reach for the top. And if you stumble a bit you always try to get back up.” Which is exactly what Simpson has done. After 14 years as head coach of the Prince Albert Raiders, Simpson made it to the NHL for the first time in 1986 as head coach of the New York Islanders. When Isles’ general manager Bill Torrey failed to…
