VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have signed a one-year affiliation contract with the ECHL’s Kalamazoo Wings.

It will mark the fourth time the K-Wings have acted as the Canucks’ secondary minor-league affiliate.

Vancouver and Kalamazoo first established a partnership from 1984 to 1987 while the K-Wings were members of the International Hockey League.

Kalamazoo also served as an affiliate club for the Canucks organization from 2011 to 2015 and again from 2017 to 2021.
