ABBOTSFORD CANUCKS ANNOUNCE 2023.24 REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE

**Vancouver, B.C. - **Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the Kalamazoo Wings have signed a one-year agreement to be the ECHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks and AHL Abbotsford Canucks for the 2023.24 season.



"Securing a full time ECHL affiliation is something we have wanted to do for our players and the Abbotsford Canucks," said Allvin. "Giving our guys every opportunity to grow, improve and succeed on the ice Is extremely important to the hockey club. Having this agreement with Kalamazoo gives our team and our development staff another touchpoint in the long hard journey to becoming a pro hockey player."



"The goal for us is to try and develop players at all levels and having a direct pipeline to the ECHL is extremely important," said Ryan Johnson, General Manager Abbotsford Canucks and Assistant to the General Manager, Vancouver Canucks. "From day one we have talked about how we want to approach the game, our professionalism, our culture and using all available resources. Teaming up with Joel Martin and his staff in Kalamazoo is another key building block in our player development process and will only help make our organization stronger."



"The K-Wings are excited to be working once again with the Vancouver Canucks and their AHL affiliate the Abbotsford Canucks," said Joel Martin, Kalamazoo Wings Director of Hockey Operations and Head Coach. "We're thankful for the opportunity and belief that Ryan Johnson, and the entire Canucks organization, have in us. Most importantly, we look forward to providing their young prospects with everything they need to develop."



With this new agreement in place, the Wings will serve as a Canucks affiliate for the fourth time in franchise history. Vancouver and Kalamazoo first established a partnership from 1984 to 1987 while the K-Wings were members of the International Hockey League (IHL). 



Kalamazoo also served as an affiliate club for the Canucks organization from 2011 to 2015 and again from 2017 to 2021. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the K-Wings suspended play for the entire 2020.21 ECHL season.



The K-Wings originally played in the IHL from 1974 through 1999 before joining the United Hockey League (UHL) from 2000 to 2006. The team then entered the newly re-established IHL from 2007 to 2009 before most recently joining the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) to start the 2009.10 season. 



Throughout their ECHL affiliate history with the Vancouver Canucks, Kalamazoo won two North Division Championships (2012 & 2014) and made four of six possible playoff appearances.



The club will continue to play in the Western Conference's Central Division in the upcoming 2023.24 season. The ECHL is comprised of 28 teams evenly spread out across four divisions (Central, Mountain, North, South) and two conferences (Eastern, Western).

CANUCKS ANNOUNCE ECHL PARTNERSHIP WITH KALAMAZOO WINGS FOR 2023.24 SEASON

On July 5th, Abbotsford Canucks General Manager, Ryan Johnson, announced that the club had signed forward Jermaine Loewen to a two-year contract through the end of the 2024-25 AHL season.
Loewen, 25, spent the entirety of the 2022-23 season with the Vegas Golden Knights’ AHL affiliate Henderson Silver Knights, leading the team with 84 penalty minutes over 51 games played.

We sat down with the Jamaican born forward to learn more about the newest member of the Abbotsford Canucks.

**What can Abbotsford fans expect from you this season?**

A physical player, I finish my checks, I bring energy. I’ve been an energy player for the last number of years, and even my time in junior. I’m hoping to translate that, and also a bit of skill and help guys on the third and fourth lines.

**Have you always played a physical style of hockey?**

I’ve always been known to be a physical player. I have a big body so my presence let’s me protect my teammates and I’m proud to be able to do that when the time is right.

**Tell us about your unique path to playing pro hockey.**

I’m not sure if many people know my story already, but I grew up in Jamaica until age five in an orphanage. My parents, from Manitoba, went over there for humanitarian aid. They saw me and they wanted to adopt me out of the orphanage. It was 21 months later and I moved to Arborg, Manitoba, that’s where my family is from. I lived there for a few years and started playing shinny hockey, as well as pond hockey back home. Then I had a friend one day tell me that I should try hockey. At that time I had only been in Canada for a couple of years, but I asked my parents if I could play hockey. It was foreign to me, then they told me I could play for one year.

I fell in love with the game. It all just seemed like something I wanted to accomplish and become the first Jamaican born player to be drafted into the NHL. It was a goal that I had set when I was 12 years old, and then I started playing hockey in Arborg and I progressed fairly well. The first year was pretty rough, I didn’t really know the game coming from Jamaica. I really had to progress my game as fast as I could, and then I got drafted by the Kamloops Blazers (WHL) where I played for five years. I was there for about 300 games, and captained them in my last year.

**How has your work ethic driven you to success in your career?**

Coming into hockey, I didn’t know what that journey was going to be like. I had a moment, an awakening, thinking it would be really cool to be the first Jamaican born player to get drafted (into the NHL) and to work as hard as I can. I feel like I thrive being the underdog, and my mind set is that “I’m not an underdog, I’m an overcomer”. First year in junior, I didn’t have any points and it was pretty rough. 16 years old, moved 2000 kilometers away from home, it was difficult. That was an up and down season for me, mostly down. I thought that this may not be the path for me, I went home and felt upset about my performances and my game because prior to that I had pretty good production. 

To have that moment, things then started to snowball for me in my later years, and then everything came together when I got drafted as an 19 year old. That’s just the up and down path I’ve been on. For me, resiliency is a big word and I like to tell younger kids that.

**How have your leadership qualities translated to the AHL?**

I learned a lot being a leader, I’ve had to with the help of my trainer and my agent. I always take room to become better and take criticism and say “how can I grow from that?”. That’s the kind of mindset you need to have as a leader. Seeing some of the leaders in Abbotsford, and obviously playing with Quinn (Schmiemann), I know what he brings, what other guys bring, and I’ve got to just be myself. Don’t need to do too much, just live my life and my habits will present themselves on the ice.

**You wrote a children’s book a few years ago, can you tell us about that experience?**

I wrote a children’s book almost three years ago. It was during Covid and the Black Lives Matter movement. There was a lot of racial tension in the United States. Seeing all of the stuff on the news, my agent approached me and said “why don’t we do a book so you can share your experiences and have it be tangible.” The book is called Ari’s Awful Day, and Ari is a black lion. Ari has his own issues and problems, and me as well, throughout my career I experienced bullying. This book represents what my life has been like, trying to fit in and overcoming that. I can use that book when my career is done and inspire people. It is a book that I co-authored with Thom Van Dycke, and I’m hoping I can do some more as my life and career goes on.

**What do you like to get up to in your spare time?**

I’m a bit of a nerd in this way but I love to read. I love self help books and studying/learning all of the time. Reading and sitting by the pool is my hanging out and having a good time, and then I also love to go fishing. Getting those opportunites with friends and I went fishing with my dad back in Manitoba. I’m pretty easy go lucky that way and I just enjoy any time I get to be outdoors.

Joyaux, 26, spent the entirety of his first professional campaign with the ECHL’s Newfoundland Growlers in 2022-23, leading team defencemen in goals (nine), assists (32) and points (41) while playing in all 72 regular season games. The 5-10, 181-pound blueliner was named to the 2022-23 ECHL All-Rookie Team on April 12 before skating in all 16 of Newfoundland’s postseason games, recording seven points (two goals, five assists). A native of Bloomingdale, Illinois, Joyaux spent four seasons with the NCAA’s Western Michigan University (NCHC), recording 67 points (16 goals, 51 assists) and 64 penalty minutes over 120 collegiate contests.


Lemiuex, 22, is signing his first professional contract out of Concordia University (OUA), where he led the league’s goaltenders in goals-against average (1.98) and lead rookie goaltenders in wins (16) during the 2022-23 USports regular season. The 6’1, 185-pound netminder recorded three shutouts and a .933 save percentage for the Stingers this past season and posted a 4-2-0 record with two shutouts during the 2023 OUA Playoffs.
