A few weeks ago I wrote about baseball player Dan Eash who is battling ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. The Walk to Defeat ALS is coming up Oct. 11 at IPFW.

This is from Nicole and Guy Dupuis:
Hello friends and family,

Just a reminder that the Buddy Walk is only 2 weeks away on Saturday, October 3rd at Foster Park.  Festivities begin at 10:00 a.m.  If you plan on walking with our team, "Matthew's Mates," please be sure to send us an e-mail at gndupuis@yahoo.com so we have enough team buttons made.  If you've already confirmed with us, no need to do it again.

Attached are Matthew and Guy's Buddy Walk television and radio commercials.  For tv, watch Indiana's News Center, and radio will be played on K-105 and 97.3.

The International Hockey League will conduct training camp for referees and linesmen this Saturday and Sunday at the Onyx Ice Arena, home of the Rochester Rattlers travel hockey team, located in Rochester, Michigan.

The camp will be conducted by Brad Jones, IHL Vice President of Hockey Operations and Jerry Pateman, one of the IHL Supervisors of Officials.

Former Komet Weekes, yet another well-spoken goaltender, posted a 7-5-0 record with a 2.42 GAA in 16 games with the New Jersey Devils last season.

Born of Barbadian descent, the 34-year-old native of Scarborough, Ont., proudly wears the Barbados flag on the back of his goalie mask as a tribute to his roots.

He is also one of the NHL's most community-minded and charitable players.

Weekes is 105-163-6 with a 2.88 GAA and 19 shutouts in 348 NHL games (317 starts) with the Florida Panthers, Vancouver Canucks, New York Islanders, Tampa Bay Lightning, Carolina Hurricanes, Rangers and Devils.

Komets General Manager David Franke said tonight veteran forward David Hukalo won't be able to start playing until early November as he continues to recuperate from off-season shoulder surgery. Franke said the Komets are looking to bring at least one more forward to training camp and the team, "Is talking to a couple of kids."

Franke also said he expects Tyler Sims, Tim Haun and Matt Wagner to fight it out amongst the three of themselves for the back-up job to Nick Boucher.

The Komets announced Tuesday the addition of two players to the preseason roster. Netminder Tyler Sims and forward Michael Uvodich have agreed to terms and have been invited to the Komet training camp.
