I'm going to have a ton of 75th anniversary #Komets content coming out today and tomorrow, both in print and on the Journal Gazette website.
But first, a look at what to follow for this year's team heading into 2026-27. #ECHL

Brady Stonehouse was reassigned to Bakersfield, so he likely won't be available this weekend for the #Komets.
Talking with Ben Boudreau earlier today, there may be a few more Komets moved to Bakersfield as they deal with illness.

The Franke Brothers will be inducted into the #Komets Hall of Fame pregame Sunday.
The family bought a dormant IHL franchise from Flint in 1990 to keep hockey in Fort Wayne and they've owned it ever since.
Join us on Sunday, Nov. 15th, as we will induct the Franke Brothers into the Komets Hall of Fame with a special pregame ceremony. 🏛️ A tribute to the family that refused to let one of hockey's most storied franchises leave Fort Wayne. 🧡

The #Komets have a big weekend ahead, and not just on the ice. A book, a gathering of legends and a fan festival are all on the agenda for their 75th anniversary weekend.

Johannes gets 2 for the original penalty (tripping). Lapointe and Kennedy each get 2 for roughing. Kennedy gets a 10-minute misconduct for continuing an altercation.
Kalamazoo power play coming up.

We got a penalty on the Komets, but when the play is stopped Kennedy decks Lapointe and it looks like he'll go to the box as well.
Then we have a wrestling match with Pitters and Larose.

We get a big pull apart near the Komets bench after a stoppage in play. Mainolfi has to be dragged away by officials.
