Former Chatham Maroon James McEwan has signed to play with the Kalamazoo Wings (ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks).

The team announced that forward James McEwan signed a contract for the 2023-24 season.

McEwan, 26, was acquired by Kalamazoo via trade with the Florida Everblades last February, and he appeared in three games for the K-Wings last season.

Before signing with Orlando, McEwan played 59 games for the University of New Brunswick, racking up 24 points and 26 penalty minutes from 2018-22.
