KALAMAZOO, MI - The Kalamazoo Wings, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks, announced Tuesday that forward Ryan Cox signed a Standard Player Contract (SPC) for the 2025-26 season.

Cox, 27, is a 5-foot-11, 181-pound forward from St. Albert, Alberta. Last season with the K-Wings, he appeared in 72 games, scoring 9 goals and adding 13 assists for 22 points, along with 8 penalty minutes.

"I'm fired up to be back in Kalamazoo and play in front of you amazing fans," Cox said. "The support and energy they brought throughout last year is much appreciated, and I'm looking forward to making this a great year."

Cox started his pro hockey career out of Niagara University with the Toledo Walleye in 2022-23 (12gp-5g-6a).
