His full name is Trevor Jon Caig, but to those who have followed University of Minnesota Duluth hockey over the past three seasons, he's just plain, old \"T.J.\".
The senior center, who possesses one of the heaviest shots in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, has not put up the numbers thus far in 2004-05 that he has been accustomed to. Yet, with some six weeks remaining in his final collegiate regular season, Caig has all intentions of going out with a bang.
