Tootoo happy with 'Hawks, happier at home

Jordin Tootoo is an older man in a young man's game and he's not afraid to admit he relishes every minute of life in the NHL.

"You put so much into this hockey world and obviously there's a whole other life after," the 33-year-old said this afternoon. "For me, right now, I know I'm still an NHL player and I'm enjoying every bit of it and not worrying about what lies ahead."

Tootoo finished his 14th season as a pro last spring with the New Jersey Devils and it wasn't a given he would be back in the NHL for his 15th.
