I also talked with Mitzi Toepfer, Fort Wayne Youth Hockey League guru for decades about the debate on how much the Komets support/donate to the league.
``If there was something the league needed for some help of some kind, they have always helped, be it financial or whatever,'' she said. ``Normally, finances aren't even a question. They have gone out of their way since they have been owners. They have always been very accommodating and supportive of Fort Wayne Youth Hockey.''
As for having more exhibitions on weeknights this year, Toepfer said, ``That's for starters, the Komets had fewer Saturday night games this year and they had to work in some of these Wednesday night games and stuff."
Last night was the Komets' first Satuday home since Jan. 9. They've only had five so far this season.
As for paying $175 for youth hockey league jerseys, Toepfer said, ``I'm not sure where he's buying jerseys, but we've never paid $175 for jerseys.''
Toepfer normally buys all the jerseys for FWYH.

I got a puck signed by the TEAM CANADA back up goalie and sure Hall of Fame goalie.
BLB, how about Sundays game=you know where we sit. The Martin Brodeur puck will not be in there nor will be the Hershey Bear puck that means alot to me.
Yes, You must use the Komets jerseys through FWYH. You may add sponsor logos with approval, but the jerseys must be Komets jerseys.
I have a Lancing Lancers puck.
I'll be there Sunday, mightbite. I'll get them then. Bob, if you want to get them to me then, that would be great!! If you're serious, I mean. mightbite sits in sec 202, but I'll be in 212, row 5. Look for the redhead with a longhaired little guy and a darkhaired guy with me. Or we can arrange to meet somewhere else. I'm gonna meet Blake after the game somewhere, so I can send you a Facebook message to let you know about that and we could meet there as well, but then you'd have to carry them all game. Just let me know how you would like to do this, ok? I'm open. Thanks so much, guys! You are great!!! The kids will be so happy, you have no idea!! I'll tell 'em some came from a MMA trainer and some came from the owner of a car club and they will think I am some sort of rock star. LOL....
