Komets

This was from Mayor Tom Henry:

WHEREAS, For over fifty years hockey has brought many new families, fans and businesses to the city of Fort Wayne; and

WHEREAS, The Fort Wayne Komets have driven the status of our city's reputation as a great minor-league town; and

WHEREAS, Some 10,480 fans witnessed and cheered on the Komets to take their second straight Turner Cup win, 4-1 over Muskegon; and

WHEREAS, This was the first time in their 57 year history that the Komets successfully defended a post season championship.

Six pages with every player highlighted, and fans, too.

You can read it here. Now it looks like they've switched from City-County Building to Courthouse Green.

There will be a ceremony at the City-County Building at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, likely on the front steps. There will be proclmations read by the mayor and the city council and likely some remarks from Al Sims and Guy Dupuis, and a brief amount of time for autographs and pictures. Then everyone will leave at approximately 6 p.m. by fire trucks, trolleys, or something to head to the coliseum for the fan party. They will pull directly into Memorial Coliseum Expo 1 at 6:30 p.m. Doors will open for the fan party at 6 p.m.

You can see some of the pictures we took Friday night a little closer by going to Chad Ryan Blog, Indiana PhoBLOGrapher by clicking here or on the link to the lower left in the blog roll.

This is Ellie Bogue's slideshow of Game 5 when lots of help from Chad Ryan. Also, be sure to see Chad's video lower on this page.
