Originally a New Jersey draft pick (79th overall), rights to McCauley were traded along with Jason Smith and Steve Sullivan to Toronto for Doug Gilmour, Dave Ellett and a 3rd round draft pick. In Toronto, McCauley received little playing time, as head coach Pat Quinn preferred to play veterans over youngsters.

While the NHL was locked out in 2004–2005, he studied at Athabasca University. He has stressed the importance of education, and he wishes to get a degree himself so he can have a job after his NHL career.
