KALAMAZOO, MI - The Kalamazoo Wings, proud ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Vancouver Canucks, announced Monday that the NHL club reassigned forward David Pope to Kalamazoo from the American Hockey League's Utica Comets.

Pope, 25, has three goals and five points in eight games for the K-Wings this season, last appearing in a game for Kalamazoo January 4 at Fort Wayne. The Edmonton, Alberta native appeared in six games for Utica since his most recent call-up January 6.
