The Comets have made another addition to their operations department ahead of the upcoming season.

Curtis Sanford, who played 15 years of professional hockey has been named Player Development Goaltending Consultant.

"We're excited to have Curtis (Sanford) join our team," general manager Ryan Johnson said. "He brings 15 years of experience as a pro and has played at every level of the game. He's a Canucks alumni, having played two years with the team, who brings passion and knowledge to the role."

Sanford played for Vancouver from 2007-2009, appearing in 44 games, but spent the bulk of his career in the AHL. He last played for the KHL's Locomotiv Yaroslavl in 2015.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity and I'm looking forward to working with everyone in the organization," Sanford said. "The Canucks have a talented group of goaltenders that I'm thrilled to meet and work with. I'm extremely proud to be a part of the Vancouver Canucks organization."
