Kalamazoo Wings News Release


KALAMAZOO, MI - The Kalamazoo Wings, proud ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks, announced Tuesday that forward Blake Christensen has signed a Standard Player Contract (SPC) for the 2025-26 season.

Christensen, 29, is a Coral Springs, FL, native entering his fourth professional season. In 2024-25, Kalamazoo acquired the forward from Tahoe (14gp, 3g-5a, 10 PIM) on Jan. 3. Christensen then went on to massively impact the team with leadership and scored 21 points (7g-14a, 23 PIM) in 28 games played down the stretch.

"Coming back to Kalamazoo was a very easy decision for me," Christensen said. "I love how our group came together with a strong second half last season, and I'm excited to see what our core can do with a full season together. The passion that the fans bring to the arena every game is contagious - I am proud & honored to put the K-Wings jersey on next season."

In ECHL play, Christensen has notched 36g-44a in 113 games played for Worcester (2021-23), Tahoe and Kalamazoo. The forward also has 21 AHL games played for Bakersfield (2021-22) & Springfield (2021-22) with 2g in that span, and 10 games played for Mandlerud (Norway) in 2020-21 with 9 points scored (4g-5a).

The 5-foot 9-inch forward also played 142 games across four seasons at American International College (NCAA) from 2015-2020, scoring 48 goals and 71 assists with 121 penalty minutes. In 2018-19, Christensen led AIC to the AHA Championship, taking home the AHA Scoring title (47 pts), a First Team All-Star (AHA) nod, and a Second All-American Team (East) honor.

The K-Wings will continue to release player signings weekly ahead of their Home Opener on October 18 versus the Fort Wayne Komets at Wings Event Center.
