KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Kalamazoo Wings, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks, announced the signing of rookie defenseman Ian Edmondson for the 2019-20 season.
Edmondson begins his first pro season in Kalamazoo after skating in 10 games for the Wichita Thunder near the end of the 2018-19 season. The Toronto, Ontario native tallied four assists and racked up 31 penalty minutes in his first taste of ECHL hockey.
The 24-year-old enjoyed a four-year college career at Canisius College from 2015-19, where he compiled 34 points (4g-30a) in 122 games. Edmondson helped the Golden Griffins win the regular-season Atlantic Hockey Association conference title as a sophomore in 2016-17.
Last season as a senior, Edmondson was named to the AHA All-Academic Team. He also won the Golden Griffins’ Community Outreach Award and Tom Chapman Memorial Award as the team’s unsung hero.
