From a Komets' press release:
The Komets announced Tuesday that forward Matt Firman and defenseman Mathieu Gagnon have agreed to terms and become the first players to be named to the 2013-14 roster.
Firman, 23, made his pro debut with the Komets last season after completing four seasons with Colgate University in the ECAC. The Fayetteville, New York native led Fort Wayne rookies with 14 goals and 30 points and was named the Komets' Rookie of the Year.
The ECHL on Monday announced the Season-Ending Rosters as submitted by each of its member teams.
Season-Ending Rosters may include up to 20 players. Season-Ending Rosters cannot include any players who did not sign an ECHL contract in 2012-13.
From an Indiana Tech press release:
Indiana Tech will bring collegiate hockey to Fort Wayne with the addition of a men’s ice hockey team in fall 2014. The Warriors will play in the American Collegiate Hockey Association.
Went up to Camp Potawotami today to check out how the money we raise for MDA is used. It's amazing how much good it does. Thank you!
In the first period of Game 2, please do every hockey fan a favor and call two diving penalties. Call one each on both teams, I don't care, but please call them. Why are you letting hockey become the NBA with flopping? The rule is in the blasted book so use it! Call it twice and we'll never have to worry about it again in this series because the players will adjust.
7:30 p.m. Thursday to talk about the book and probably about the Komets, too.
Michael Franke:
``This wasn't a horse race. This is the guy right here. He knows the Komet way, and he understands what needs to be done in the ECHL.
``We have done a tremendous amount of scouting since Feb. 1 in the ECHL and the AHL, and we feel that we are totally prepared moving into the 2013-14 season.
