Vancouver Canucks organization announces signing of former NCAA forward & BC native
As the Abbotsford Canucks prepare for their first game of the 2025-26 season, which is set for Friday against the Henderson Silver Knights, the club has announced that they’ve signed forward Nick Poisson to a one-year deal.
Abbotsford Canucks GM & Vancouver Canucks Assistant GM Ryan Johnson confirmed after the signing of Poisson that he has been loaned to the Kalamazoo Wings for the start of the new season.
“Abbotsford Canucks General Manager, Ryan Johnson, announced today that the club has signed forward Nick Poisson to a one-year contract ahead of the 2025-26 AHL season.” the team said in a press release.
They added, “Ryan Johnson also announced today that Poisson has been loaned to Abbotsford’s ECHL affiliate Kalamazoo Wings.”
Poisson, a native of Vancouver, British Columbia, spent two seasons in the BCHL with the Prince George Spruce Kings, winning the Doyle Cup as league champions in 2019.
After the 2018-19 season, Poisson headed south to the United States where he went on to suit up for Providence College in the NCAA for five seasons, wearing the ‘C’ during the 2024-25 campaign.
The 24-year-old winger finished his collegiate career with 109 points (42 goals, 67 assists), 94 penalty minutes and was a plus-29 in 170 games with Providence College.
Poisson is expected to make his professional debut this weekend when the Kalamazoo Wings open up the 2025-26 campaign with back-to-back games against the Toledo Walleye.
