Wendy interviews Chris Griffith

By Blake Sebring — Wed, 03/17/2010 - 10:40am — Tailing the Komets

Chris Griffith will be Wendy Bartle's guest for this week's St. Patrick's Day edition of "Fans in the Stands" which can be seen during the first intermission of the Komets Game of the Week broadcast. Chris is a transplanted fan, having moved to the Fort Wayne area from Coldwater, MI while he was still in high school. Despite the fact that he grew up watching the Kalamazoo Wings play, his blood now runs indisputably black and orange, though he does still follow his other favorite team from boyhood, the always intimidating Detroit Red Wings.

Wendy interviews Dick Close

By Blake Sebring — Mon, 03/15/2010 - 3:01pm — Tailing the Komets

Close worked for Pepsi Cola, a major sponsor of the Fort Wayne Komets, for a number of years and is now retired. He is a season ticket holder and has been attending games since 1957. He was privileged to know a few Komets legends personally, such as goalie Robbie Irons, who also worked at Pepsi for a time. As a Komets fan, Close made a point to travel to a number of away games over the years, visiting every current IHL city except Bloomington, IL and has a great many interesting stories from the various locales over the years.

Happened on his first shift tonight. He'll be evaluated by the team doctor on Monday.

Komets lead 2-0 heading into the third period, and this game looks like a replay of the last two home games. Port Huron has 15 shots after two periods.
