Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- The Kalamazoo Wings, proud member of the ECHL and affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League, announce the signing of goaltender Riley Gill. Per club policy, the terms of the contact will be undisclosed.

A four-year standout at Western Michigan University, Gill set a career-high starting in 30 contests this season as a senior for the Broncos. Gill ended his tenure at WMU with the highest save percentage (0.915), most shutouts (8) and second-best goals against average (2.94) in school history.

The native of Northfield, Minnesota also holds the single-season school record for save percentage (0.923), set this past season.

Gill seems to have a knack for saving his best-performances in the biggest games. This season, Gill had games of 42 and 47 saves against the University of Miami of Ohio (ranked #1), 43 saves versus the University of Michigan, 41 saves in his final home performance against Ferris State (ranked #14) and tied a career-high with 54 saves, second-best in school history, in a victory over Notre Dame.

Earlier this month, Gill was named an alternate to compete in the NCAA Frozen Four Skills Competition, becoming only the fourth Bronco to be selected to participate in the event.

Before heading to college, Gill played three seasons of junior hockey with the Texarkana Bandits of the North American Hockey League.

The K-Wings will return to Wings Stadium this Wednesday, March 17th with a 7 p.m. encounter versus the Wheeling Nailers during the 29th Annual "World Famous" St. Patrick's Day Green Ice Game, presented by Fifth-Third Bank and WWMT.
