Even with a new two-year contract in tow, Jesse Winchester knows his roster spot with the Senators isn't guaranteed.

After taking part in an on-ice session at the Senators' summer hockey camp Tuesday at the Bell Sensplex, the 26-year-old centre talked about the training he's been doing this summer and what he needs to do in camp in September.

While he has been working out and skating with friends in Long Sault this off-season, Winchester recently bought a house in Kanata and will begin skating with local pros there soon.
