KALAMAZOO- Shorthanded due to injuries and call ups a week ago the Kalamazoo Wings are starting to get back to full strength. Earlier this afternoon, forward Curtis Valk was reassigned to the K-Wings from the American Hockey League's Utica Comets, while forward Mike DiPaolo was reassigned from the AHL's Springfield Falcons.

Valk, who has played nine games this season with the K-Wings, is tied for the team-lead in scoring with 12 points (4 goals, 8 assists) with Sacha Guimond.

DiPaolo joins the K-Wings after starting the season with the Falcons. Last season, DiPaolo split the campaign between the Charlottetown Islanders of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League.

A defenseman in Junior's, DiPaolo will join the K-Wings as a forward.

In a separate transaction yesterday, the K-Wings traded forward Josh Brittain to the Missouri Maverick's for future considerations.
