no longer the offensive force he had been as a junior player, he had become a solid two-way performer. On March 5, 2003, Toronto traded McCauley, Brad Boyes, and Toronto's first round choice in 2003 to the San Jose Sharks, with power forward Owen Nolan going to Toronto in exchange. The change of scenery seemed to benefit McCauley. In his first full season with the Sharks in 2003–04, he established career highs in goals (20) and points (47). McCauley was known for his two-way play and his penalty-killing abilities, which earned him a Selke Trophy nomination in 2003–04 as the league's best defensive forward. After three seasons in San Jose, McCauley signed as a free agent with the division rival Los Angeles Kings in July 2006. He missed the majority of 2006–07 season recovering from a recurring knee injury, and ultimately played in only 10 games in Los Angeles, scoring one goal. Other During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, McCauley studied at Athabasca University. On August 15, 2008, McCauley accepted a position as an assistant coach with the Queen's Golden Gaels men's hockey team. McCauley has served as a pro scout for the Los Angeles Kings, with whom he received Stanley Cup Rings in 2012 and 2014. From 2018 to 2022, he was pro scout with the Philadelphia Flyers, and on February 3, 2022, he as named their Director of Player Personnel.
