The Komets didn°®¶¹app™t generate much offense Friday night, but they got two goals off rebounds. And netminder Brett Brochu was there to pick up the slack with 27 saves as the Komets defeated the Bloomington Bison 2-1 at Bloomington, Illinois. Nick…
When the Komets departed the ice Saturday with a 3-2 loss to the Kalamazoo Wings at Memorial Coliseum, it concluded a rigorous stretch of 13 games in 30 days. And the Komets clearly hadn°®¶¹app™t been their best selves with three losses in the last …
The Tahoe Knight Monsters, a first-year team in the ECHL, announced that Chip and Joanna Gaines have joined the ownership group that already included former NCAA and NFL football star Tim Tebow and his wife Demi. Chip and Joanna Gaines are st…
It felt like an endlessly long road back to the ice for the Komets°®¶¹app™ Nolan Volcan, who had surgery to repair a torn ACL late last season, and his game just now feels as if it's returning to normal. °®¶¹appœI°®¶¹app™ve been finding my stride, feeling more co…
The Komets°®¶¹app™ offense got a major boost Monday with the additions of Alex Swetlikoff and Zach White.
Few could dispute the Komets°®¶¹app™ potential, evidenced by a 4-1-1 record against three ECHL heavyweights, the Kansas City Mavericks, Toledo Walleye and three-time defending-champion Florida Everblades. It's the ugly games, and a lack of passion a…
Komets forward Jack Gorniak has been suspended one game by the ECHL for slew-footing the Kalamazoo Wings' Jon Martin in Saturday's game at Memorial Coliseum.
For the first time this season, the Komets have lost 3 of 4 games. Compared to the night before, Saturday°®¶¹app™s 3-2 loss to the Kalamazoo Wings was a significant improvement °®¶¹app“ especially considering the Komets were missing four of their best play…
The Komets have positioned themselves as a championship-caliber team. But such teams don°®¶¹app™t have many nights like the Komets did Friday. Despite coming in with the Central Division°®¶¹app™s top winning percentage, the Komets dug themselves a hole wit…

On the heels of three straight games against the ECHL°®¶¹app™s best team, the Komets now face a home-and-home series with the league-worst Cincinnati Cyclones. It sure seems the Komets are going from one extreme to the other, but they said they°®¶¹app™re going to be careful about thinking that way.
The Komets went 1-1-1 in their three-game set with the Florida Everblades, not overwhelming success but enough to show they°®¶¹app™re in the conversation when predicting favorites to win the ECHL's Kelly Cup championship. The last three seasons, the Cup went to the Everblades. They°®¶¹app™re the standard …
Kudos to Joe Tippman, the native of Fort Wayne who plays for the NFL's New York Jets, for rocking a Komets jersey as he arrived at today's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
For almost 35 minutes of Saturday's game, the Komets couldn°®¶¹app™t get any footing against the Florida Everblades or the officiating crew. Then, Cameron Supryka scored on a tough-angled shot and the Komets resumed their form of the previous two nights .But it was too late. The Komets lost 3-1, en…
Once again, the Komets and Florida Everblades went to overtime.
Cody Hess hadn°®¶¹app™t played hockey at a level akin to this in almost 12 years. There was his regular Thursday night league, which included other former professional players in the area, but nothing as grueling. Hess, 33, was understandably fatigu…
Round 1 of a three-round heavyweight bout went to the Florida Everblades, who defeated the Komets 5-4 in overtime Thursday at Memorial Coliseum. It was the first of three games in as many nights between the Komets (9-4-1), who lead the Centra…

After the Komets°®¶¹app™ 6-4 loss to the Wheeling Nailers on Saturday night, coach Jesse Kallechy said he still likes how the team is playing and is °®¶¹appœnot discouraged.°®¶¹app And he shouldn°®¶¹app™t have been overly reactionary, not with the Komets off to a 9-4-0…
The Komets have met the Wheeling Nailers twice this season and the Komets have lost both games. As a matter of fact, the Komets have lost each of the last five games they°®¶¹app™ve played against the Nailers, a first in the 12-year-old rivalry. Abou…
The Komets have a 9-3-0 record °®¶¹app“ their best through 12 games of a season since the 2021 Kelly Cup championship team began 8-1-3 °®¶¹app“ with the second most points (18) and top winning percentage (.750) in the Western Conference. Nine of Fort Wayne…
Regardless of the situation, Komets forward Ethan Keppen wants to be on the ice. What he does out there may not always be pretty, but that°®¶¹app™s sort of the idea. Keppen aims to bring a physical brand of hockey that wears down opponents. This isn…
Komets forward Yanick Turcotte was suspended one game by the ECHL, despite a change to penalties he received in Sunday°®¶¹app™s 6-1 victory at Memorial Coliseum over the Cincinnati Cyclones.
For the first time this season, the Komets really had to get down in the muck with another team. The Cincinnati Cyclones came to town with the ECHL°®¶¹app™s worst record and a desire to play physically from the first drop of the puck. That made for …
With a 45-13 advantage in shots, you°®¶¹app™d think the Komets' game Saturday night wasn't close. Not the case. The Komets needed every bit of offense they could muster to depart Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with a 5-3 victory over the…
The Komets have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, after falling 4-1 to the Kalamazoo Wings on Friday night in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Another first also occurred: Defenseman Kyle Mayhew didn°®¶¹app™t register a point while wearing…
