Are the Wamplers, owners of Hara Arena in Dayton. They are here checking things out. I also heard there were meetings in Quad City this week for a couple of days.
Dylan Row is also here tonight and is going to skate with the Komets tomorrow. They want to check him out before deciding on signing.
This poster is the work of photographer Chad Ryan and designer Brad Saleik with a special assist from designer Drew Walker to get this up on the blog. It will be available in Monday's News-Sentinel.
Which team would you like to see them play in the first round, Muskegon or Kalamazoo?
Right now Muskegon leads by one point and has played one fewer game than the Wings. Kalamazoo holds the first tiebreaker, overall wins, and Muskegon holds the second tiebreaker, head-to-head wins.
Kalamazoo hosts the Komets on Friday and travels to Muskegon on Saturday. The Lumberjacks travel to Flint on Thur
The International Hockey League (IHL) announced Wednesday that Komet netminder Nick Boucher has been named the 2008-09 Southern Sports Supply IHL Goaltender of the Year. The award is selected by IHL head coaches, general managers and members of the media.
As Chuck Bailey and Janice correctly point out, Port Huron can still catch the Komets in points.
With a special guest appearance by Sebastien Laplante. Don't blink, you'll miss him. Anyway, you can watch this week's video here. Plus some great video by cha
It's a pretty busy week for Komets defenseman Guy Dupuis to receive awards. For the third season in a row, Dupuis was named the league's Outstanding Defenseman today. The 38-year old leads all IHL blueliners with 16 goals, 67 points and a plus-32 rating. He also ranks second on the team in scoring behind P.C. Drouin.
Is about how all the guys who came in during the season contributed immediately and made a huge difference for the KO
The Komets waived rookie defenseman Brian Boulay on Monday and revealed forward Brad MacMillan suffered a broken hand during Saturday night's fight against Muskegon. MacMillan said he'd like to try playing through the injury, but General Manager David Franke said it's very unlikely MacMillan will play this week, though he will not be placed on injured reserve.
MacMillan said he hurt his hand on his last punch against Muskegon's Scott Gabriel.
The Komets announced Monday that they have placed defenseman Brian Boulay
on waivers. Boulay appeared in 69 games scoring six goals and 12 points.
This is IHL referee Jim Hawthorne after Saturday night's game with professional ref baiter BURGEE!!!! What's the deal? You better have bought him every drink he touched Burgee to try to make it up to him.

ECHL status story which is really interesting when you look at AHL attendance numbers.
Reaction from Muskegon to the injuries this weekend, including Robin Bouchard's.

Guy Dupuis, Jake Pence and I will be appearing at St. Michael Lutheran Church, 2131 Getz Road, at 7 p.m., Tuesday night for a men's ministry evening. Basically, Jake and Guy are going to talk about being Christians who work in professional athletics, and I'm going to grill them with incredibly difficult, probing, personal questions. Nah, it will be more fun than that.
I think I've used this one before here so it might be kind of easy. What ar
Besides the fact that he has 21 goals in 56 games, is that he's still going to be eligible to be a rookie next season. Definite IHL ROY candidate right there if the Komets can bring him back, and unlike most rookies, he's already been to the ECHL and wasn't buying the hype.
Komets earn 100 points for the third year in a row and fifth time in six years. Magic number for third league regular-season title is now three points.
The score is tied 1-1 after the first period, and truthfully, Muskegon doesn't look too enthused with this game. Players skating straight up, no hitting. Shots are 14-13 Komets, but they should have one or two more goals.
Brad MacMillan knocked out Muskegon's Robin Bouchard with a clean hit early in the first period. Bouchard had his head turned waiting for a pass when MacMill
