Komets

The Komets announced Wednesday that center Rick Varone has agreed to terms and will return to the Komets for 2009-10. 

Since there's not much going on right now and I'm still tied up with football and tennis, can I suggest you check out a few websites for fun?

Most of them are linked on my blogroll to the left (which I need to update), but there's some very interesting stuff out there. Some of these I found linked to other sites.

Komets 50th anniversary team

The Midwest Hockey League is adding a Fort Wayne franchise for the 2009-10 season at McMillen Park Ice Arena. The Class A-level minor league starts the season in November with teams in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.

You can read about it here.

On another thread here, we started talking about if the police and courts should ever step in when something terrible happens on the ice. What's the standard. I have always had trouble understanding why something that happens in the stands gets someone arrested, while 15 feet away on the ice it's just part of the game. Isn't breaking the law, breaking the law?

The first one about the schedule and its hassles is here.

The second one about Colin Chaulk's 3-on-3 tournament this Saturday is here. This sounds like a lot of fun just to go watch. There's going to be some tired kids after this. I suggested he let the winners take on Colin, Guy and P.C.

Komets President Michael Franke said Wednesday the Komets still hope to move two or three Wednesday games to weekend dates. The Komets are waiting for the NBDL's Mad Ants to announce their schedule to see which dates are available.

Because the Komets have been Memorial Coliseum tenants for 57 years, the hockey team gets first priority for the first 30 dates it submits, Franke said.

I was just reading about some general problems newspaper bloggers have on their sites in regard to profanity, insulting posters and general mayhem just to stir things up and get attention, and I wanted to thank you that I don't have to deal with that too often. (Unless we're talking about Burgee's five-hole, that is.) But thank you for keeping your comments relatively sane and classy. It is not something I take for granted, but I always appreciate.
