Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- The Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings, proud members of the North American Hockey League's North Division, are proud to announce the addition of defenseman, Cameron Heath.

Heath, is a 17-year-old defenseman that hails from Troy, Michigan. He was a 1st team all-state selection last season at Cranbrook-Kingswood High School in Bloomfield Hills.

Heath is a 6-1, 180 pound blue liner that was slated to start the season with the Youngstown Phantoms of the USHL. However, he was traded to Kalamazoo for future considerations. Heath is joining Kalamazoo to help support a defense core that has been struck with some early season injuries.

In 26 games last season with Cranbrook-Kingswood at the high school level, Heath was able to tally nine goals and 17 assists to average a point per game as a defenseman.

He was also quite productive on the power play unit, notching three power play goals and six man-up assists.

Heath should make his debut this weekend for Kalamazoo, as they take on the Port Huron Fighting Falcons in two straight contests, including the home opener on Sunday, September 30th at 2:00 pm at the Borgess Health Rink inside Wings West.

In another transaction, forward AJ Marcinek was traded to the Michigan Warriors for future considerations.

The Jr. K-Wings will hit the ice again on Saturday, September 29th at 7:00 p.m. in Port Huron, as they take on the Port Huron Fighting Falcons in a divisional contest between the two teams that played for the North Division Championship last season.
