But unlike last year when I learned my lesson, I am not leaving anyone else in charge. I'm not even encouraging anyone else to try to pick up the slack, either.
I'll be checking in sometimes to keep everyone honest, but you won't be getting updates. I'll be back Aug. 6. Everybody have fun.

Ok but only if they also bring back Joe Franke to compete for the starting job in goal!
That will never happen Tony.....not even as waterboy.
Who are some legitimate hockey players in the CHL last year that can score and fight? That is the clues out there for the rumored possible Komets to be signed next......
Anyone got a guess?
Ryan Tobler?
Jonathon Bernier?
Fraser Filipic? Check out this fight.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be-_C-2xQFI
Knockout!!!
Good luck getting Filipic. Probably the most respected fighter in the CHL pound per pound. No one leaves Colorado, they get fired. There isn't a team in the E, C, or I that can compete with their "Quality of life" (a nice way of saying under the table money). I'd take a 15 goal, 250PM guy like him anyday.
Al?

Here is the Knockout I thought I was posting before....Filipic!!!
Ouch!! K.O'd! Are you saying that we're possibly getting this guy?
I don't know....
Cohn's site someone is claiming we are getting a stud CHL'er that fights and scores and that lots of his fight videos are on UTUBE.....this would be one possibility. Would be nice wouldn't it?
I must say these wild "rumours" are fun. I would like to rumour that an unnamed source from an unnamed city in a rumoured unnamed league told me that several as yet to be named unnamed players will possibly be signed by the Komets on an as yet unnamed time yet to be determined but most likely before the season starts. None of the above can be confirmed or denied.
I know who it is.....Rob Guinn?
We are stealing Rob Guinn away from Frenchy? He definitely is a stud CHL'er that is physical...right?

No kidding Tony? Wow thanks for that.
Please do not bring back Dan Price. I hope whoever started that rumor is starting for a good joke. I mean the only hockey he has been playing is in the plex roller hockey league. On the other hand, if Massie is healthy, bring him back. This would be the type of league he could flourish in. I'm not sure if he is even playing still though. He is a guy that could hit like a truck. I also hope the K's bring in some youth. Look at how successful Rockford was without that many vets. Has anyone heard anything about Chewdoruk? He could be a 40 goal scorer on a line with Chaulk. Look at what Goodwin did with Chaulk and Chewdoruk is a better player with a ton more speed.
Check with the OHIC for any news on Komet "singings" MAN!
Please no more "Give Me Back My Son...err....Dan Price" calls or one blogger might lecture you.
I think Igor Malikyn would be a nice addition.....speed, physical play, Russian......played in the old IHL. I am kidding.
skate all i remember is some guys called him pops and then he went on to coach the capitals in the show.
Willie Stargell?
No Price!! Didn't he start selling cars?
To play devils advocate, lets say you were a decent minor league hockey player but poor practice habits or taking shifts off caused you to wash out of the game and into the car business. After a couple of years selling cars you realize what a mistake you made and are now motivated to get back into the game and will do whatever you have to do to keep from having to sell cars again. That might get you a hard working player.
All that being said, nobody knows what really happened with Price in Fort Wayne. Maybe he was playing hurt early in the season.
I think it would be a stretch and this is probably just a product of the rumour mill but if Al Sims thinks he can still play, he probably can still play.
talent is talent and it will rise to the top if it is motivated. you never know. look at the old ihl the last couple of years lots of talent but most of it wasted as guys went thru the motions and got paid. id be more concerned about bertram comming back and burning himself out, no pun intended . if price comes back , he still has to make the team and then keep the management happy. and if he is better than someone else, then bring him on.(sidenote: krispy creme on coldwater closed so if we can get rid of toms by the coliseum then maybe dan will be ok!)
Don't say that chuckitt, I love Tom's
Looks like some Komet games already rscheduled.
Komets website finally has the announcement of Hansen signing.

Answer to the McVie question:
If you have ever seen a picture of McVie, you'll understand this better than if you haven't.
The Komets of that season referrer to McVie as --------------
"Old Rubber Face."
Greg, that was an opinion from one of the former city council, it wasn't an article. Which leaves the door open..........again.
Anyone catch the article calling this league "semi pro" ?
Goalie?
Offensive minded D-Man?
Thumper?
Speedsters?
We got needs.....
Read where Reeds at Kzoo left the organization to take a coaching job in the OHL. Reason for leaving is he felt that would give him the best chance to move to the AHL/NHL than remaining with the wings and the NEW IHL. Thought that was an interesting comment from a respectable coach in the UHL. They guy has won in Mizzou and in Kzoo.....
He is correct though. There are NHL scouts and other personel at OHL games nightly.
It just turned August and hockey talk in North East Indiana is heating up.
More signings, less jersey offers and more signings por favor!
Hey a job for Chief!! Hey someone may want to tell him to apply the next time they see him eating at Liberty Dinner.
Get Komet Warriors brother on the phone MAN! Sccccooooppppsss! Isn't that his brother? LOL
all the same person? MAN!
