When I just started covering the Komets in 1990, I asked Al Sims for a tip on how to learn the game. "Watch a player for an entire shift without watching the puck." You could easily tell who was playing hard and who wasn't. Watch who is skating straight up instead of knees bent and in position. Who is skating hard on and off line changes? Who is only skating hard when they have the puck?
Let me know what you see.
Face big game with Toledo tonight.

From an ECHL press release:
ECHL Board of Governors announces major moves
From an ECHL press release:
The ECHL will make a major announcement tomorrow (Friday, Jan. 30) at 3 p.m. ET regarding League Membership and its roster of teams for the 2015-16 season. The League will have no further comment on the announcement at this time.
Likely to do with this: http://theahl.com/ahl-approves-formation-of-pacific-division-p196033
Fort Wayne:
Add Matt Lowry, F traded from Evansville
Delete Joey Leach, D recalled by Lake Erie (AHL)
West Coast division setting up.
Obviously, these moves will affect some ECHL cities, and the league meetings have been over for almost a week, but all you hear is crickets from ECHL. Sure, ECHL fans are the priority.
If you were wondering, of the 30 AHL teams 16 are independently owned and 14 are owned by their NHL parent clubs.
According to Eliteprospects.com the Komets have signed center Brock Higgs.
Pat Nagle also made 29 saves last night and won as Grand Rapids beat Utica 5-1
Eric Faille had one shot on goal for Texas. He has no points in six games and is minus-4
