Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- The Kalamazoo Wings, proud member of the ECHL, two-time defending North Division Champions and reigning Eastern Conference Champions, announce that the team has concluded its agreement to be the ECHL affiliate of the New York Islanders and Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

Citing a difference in affiliation philosophy, the K-Wings and Islanders have ended their relationship. Under the affiliation arrangement, during the 2010-11 season, both New York and Bridgeport assigned players to Kalamazoo.

Last year, five members of the Islanders organization, Matt Duffy, Mike Sellitto, Cory Syvret, Steven Tarasuk and Justin Taylor were assigned to the K-Wings.
