The Kalamazoo Wings have become the arduous process of putting their team back together for the upcoming ECHL season. Building a team at this level is quite different than what NHL teams go through in the off-season. With no draft and or long-term contracts teams in the ECHL have to put together a roster almost from scratch every summer.
First up, the K-Wings announced that they had re-signed veteran defender Kyle Bushee. The 32-year-old had 31 points in 56 games in his first season with Kalamazoo. A native of Otsego, Michigan who attended Western Michigan, Bushee has appeared in 524 ECHL games.
