Komets

Here are the people as of right now who are walking with the Komets in the parade: Leo Thomas, P.C. Drouin, Colin Chaulk, David Hukalo, Bobby Phillips, Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock, George Drysdale, Reggie Primeau, some Jeep girls. Could I suggest someone bring some extra water for the bird?

You can watch them here.

Veteran forward David Hukalo has announced his retirement. He played six years and 335 games with the Komets. Because he's not a great scorer, he was usually underappreciated by everyone but his teammates, who say he's the smartest player they've ever played with. Three times he was named the league's top defensive forward. If there's one opponent you had to shut down to win a game or a series, there's no doubt who was getting the assignment.

Just talked to Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock who met today with the Komets.

Are you a fan of Fort Wayne sports, particularly sports history? The next meeting of the Bethlehem Men's Group will present video highlights from Fort Wayne's past as part of the Fort Wayne Sports Corporation's Sports Heritage Project. Come see the completion of an eight-year project compiling more than 100 years of Fort Wayne's best athletic moments in a Ken Burns-style documentary format. There will be highlights every every era and special guests will also be involved. We'll meet at 7 p.m. July 12 on the first floor so we can take advantage of the DVD player.

Fort Wayne-native is the new coach at Dayton. He'll do a great job. Mr. Energy will work his tail off. Congratulations, Brian.

"Wardo and I played together for three years at Neumann. In my four years I played there, he's probably the most-complete player I played with. He's a very good player. A great skater. I think he has a better stride than me. I'm not sure if he's faster than me up and down the ice, but it's fun to watch him skate. Good hands, good awareness. My prediction is he'll be on the power play once they see him play. He's a great addition. I tried to talk to him last year about coming, but I know he had a chance to play int eh ECHL with Reading for a few games.
