TRAVERSE CITY -- When he saw his young friend struggle, Daniel Cleary thought back to when he first came to Detroit and found strength in reading.
He recommended one book in particular to Tyler Bertuzzi, and sure enough, as soon as he finished it, Bertuzzi rediscovered the scoring touch that's part of his appeal.
The Detroit Red Wings began training camp Friday by announcing Cleary had earned a one-year contract with the Grand Rapids Griffins. His own NHL days behind him now in his late 30s, Cleary has found a role with the organization as a player mentor for the team’s best prospects.
