A former Vancouver Canucks goaltender has been released from his contract one month into the 2025-26 season and is now left looking for a new home.

The last month has been very active in terms of player movement involving former members of the Vancouver Canucks organization both here in North America and overseas in several of Europe’s top leagues.

This week, another former member of the Vancouver Canucks organization is searching for a new club after he was released less than a month after signing a contract in the ECHL.

Former Vancouver Canucks goaltender released from contract one month into season

According to the ECHL’s transaction log, the Tahoe Knight Monsters, affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights & Henderson Silver Knights, have released former NHL netminder Zane McIntyre from his contract.”Following are the ECHL transactions for Tuesday, November 18, 2025:

CONTRACTED PLAYERS RELEASED (eligible for waiver claims):

Tahoe:
Zane McIntyre, G”

The Grand Forks, North Dakota native joined the Vancouver Canucks organization as a free agent in the summer of 2019 and while he never appeared in an NHL game for the club, other than serving as the backup, he suited up in 24 contests for their AHL affiliate at the time, the Utica Comets, before being traded to the New Jersey Devils for Louis Domingue.The decision to release McIntyre was a bit puzzling, especially considering his numbers, but with Carter Hart being able to play with their AHL affiliate in Henderson as of last weekend and Tahoe having three goaltenders on their roster, perhaps they wanted to give the veteran netminder a chance to get playing time elsewhere, whether that be another ECHL club, AHL or even a return to Europe.
