The Komets were scheduled to play four games in four nights from Feb. 18-21, which is not allowed under the collective bargaining agreement.

The Komets are sitting in Covington, Indiana, about 100 miles out of Bloomington waiting for a bus to come from Bloomington to pick them up. They have been sitting there for an hour so far with no heat. There's no power on the bus, either. As soon as the Komets arrive, they are going to get 20 minutes to dress and a 15-minute warmup.
They are coming home after the game, on a bus that is driving over from Fort Wayne at this time.
``We still have another half hour before we have to huddle together and share body heat,'' Bob Chase said.
