The Vancouver Canucks organization has made another addition this week, bringing a two-time champion and former captain to the fold for the 2025-26 campaign.
The month of September has been a very busy time for the Vancouver Canucks organization as the the big club opened up training camp, while their two affiliates - AHL's Abbotsford Canucks & ECHL's Kalamazoo Wings - continue to make additions to their respective rosters.
Kalamazoo has made some big additions to their rosters in September including the signing of Cam Knuble, son of longtime NHLer Mike Knuble, as well as a pair of former Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but the Wings didn't stop there and on Monday, announced that they're bringing a two-time Kelly Cup champion on board for the upcoming season.
